They might have, but it got left on the cutting room floor...

Did a bit more thought into it...the only way Tomoko's family would have known about the competition was if she had told them about it, which of course she would'nt...She couldn't even tell her band members until the last moment...
so, keeping with the internal logic of the movie, her family being at the finale would have been nonsense...

But considering her age and that of the members, you'd think the parents would have to be informed that they're traveling such a relatively long distance to perform...

Of course, I'm applying American thinking to the entire school/travel/permission field trip.... :sweat:

I'm thinking Japanese field trip permission might be even more rigourous
...of course we're still talking about a work of fiction here...

Actually wouldn't it be the other way round - Tomoko did not tell the band that they were not entered into the concert (it wasn't a competition) until the last moment. Case in point - the auto-mechanic brothers/losers were there...

You're right about Tomoko not telling the band members until they were on the stalled train...as for the the auto-mechanic brothers/losers, maybe they were told about the concert by their ex-girlfriends (guitar and bass players).

Obviously, I was too busy gawking at the girls and not paying enough attention to the movie....

Guess I'd better watch it again for the 30+th time. :beaten:

Well...I was a little delinquent, hanging out with the punk crowd....:hehe: Those two rock girls, playing bass and guitar, are the kind of girls I went out with in high school. Although...I'm sure Japanese girls like that have more regard for hygiene than the girls I went out with :bleh: . Punk had it's downside...that's why I changed in college.

Still...I hear you BMW, I'd go delinquent again to hang out with them :mrgreen:

Ironically, in junior high, I joined the school orchestra to get next to a buncha Japanese girls... :beaten:

I even still remember their names. :beaten: :crazy:

Beem the stalker, LOL :hehe:.

At least you had Japanese girls at your high school. I think we had one or two Japanese exchange students at my high school. I had to wait till college to be surrounded by 'em :beaten:.
