Swing Girls (and a boy)

Hardsubbed it, encoded it, authored it, and watched it all in one day....

And all I can say is that it's FUN.... VERY VERY FUN!! :woot: :dancing: :victory:

Nothing Earth-shattering or painstakingly deep, but well-paced and thoroughly and wonderfully enjoyable.

Not a single misstep in the entire movie. Ueno Juri and the rest of the cast is likable, adorable, and fun to watch... Now I've gotta find the OST for this movie. :beaten:

An easy 10/10 for me.

A great follow-up to watching Nodame. :thumbsup:

really enjoyed the movie!!!
my friend bought the vcd last and we watched it twice the same day..

Thank thtl... He posted this back in October 2006, but the link seems to be still good. :woot: :dancing: :victory:


Pardon the pun, but I'm jazzed. :mrgreen:

I have this on DVD. Part of my Tatsumi Natsuko collection. Good film. :)

Which character is she?

Gomen, I only recognize Ueno Juri and Takenaka Naoto (the teacher/conductor). :sweat:

She played the trombone as Kobayashi Yoko. In the final concert she's second from the left in the middle row.

This one is a casual photo, probably taken during the film shoot. From top left to bottom right the girls are: Kanjiya Shihori (lead trumpet), Tatsumi Natsuko (trombone), Abe Nagisa (trumpet), Motokariya Yuika (lead trombone), Ueno Juri (lead saxaphone).

There was a bit of the movie that got edited out. When the girls told the bentou guy they'll help with the delivery, the guy gave them the karaoke coupon. This is why after they delivered the lunches at the stadium Tomoko (Ms. Ueno) said they'll go to the karaoke next.

So desu.

I think it was a good thing to edit out the reason why the delivery guy was late: it would have been a unnecessary distraction to the story...
