Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad

About the story

Yukio Tanaka (Daisuke Namikawa) is an unremarkable fourteen-year-old middle-school student. Without that one encounter, he might have disappeared into the crowd for life without leaving a trace. Fate brings him together with Ryusuke Minami (Yuma Ueno), a young man two years his senior who has returned from abroad. Outspoken and fiercely devoted to music, Ryusuke once formed a rock band in New York, but a colorful life and his uncompromising personality led him to part ways with it. He eventually finds rapper Tsunemi Chiba (Shintaro Ohata) and eighteen-year-old bassist Yoshiyuki Taira (Kenji Nojima), determined to form another band and chase his dream. With Koyuki and transfer student Yuji Sakurai (Toru Nara), who excels at drums, the band BECK, featuring two lead vocalists, is officially formed. These rock-loving boys race joyfully toward the distant shore of their dreams. The series is adapted from Harold Sakuishi's manga of the same name.
