Yeah...Yeah...Okay. I'll leave everything about the contract to you.
Yeah...
What? The band name "Beck" is no good there?
Then you name something works good in U.S.
Yeah. I'll send you the DAT as soon as possible.
Okay. 'Bye...
Hey, Ryusuke! Are you here?
What?! An overseas debut?
So easily? I mean...we're lucky.
No, I don't think we should expect too much.
True, it's the U.S., but this is a very obscure label.
Yeah...Um...Mr. Albin... The guy with the name card, right?
But, I can feel the enthusiasm in him.
He says Beck is the best band he's heard in Japan.
Hmm...
America! Blonde beauties.
I wonder if we'd fit in better overseas...
America?
"Live 17 'Three Days'"
Here you go.
Thank you very much!
Unusual for a customer be so thankful...
Yeah...I haven't seen a customer so happy in a long time.
Yukio! You're too loud!
Oh...I'm sorry!
Let's see...Volume...volume...Okay.
Oh? Till morning?
Yeah. It's completely different from a Gretsch so it's a lot of fun!
A Telecaster?
Mm-hmm...I even took a day off my job for this.
I see...
-Be careful you don't lose your job! -Uh-huh...
Oh! That girl!
-Oh...It is! -Huh?!
Ooh...Ouch...
Are you all right?
I-I guess so...
You...Aren't you the girl working at the donut shop?
Tanaka...kun?
"Health Room"
How did you know my name?
Well, you're always getting scolded.
Oh, is that why? How embarrassing!
Okay. I'm done.
It's nothing serious, but be careful for two or three days.
All right.
The employees aren't treated very well at that shop.
That's why the worker turnover is so great.
Tanaka-kun...Can you play the guitar?
Huh? You can play, can't you?
No. Not at all.
I...This guitar case...
I saw it in the Light Music Club room.
Yeah...The club leader yelled at me, so I quit after three days.
Your name?
Oh! I'm Hiromi Masuoka.
Hiromi Masuoka...Hiromi Masuoka... Hiromi Masuoka...
Hiromi Masuoka, Hiromi Masuoka...
Hiromi Masuoka...
Wow...
Why, you're good, Tanaka-kun.
What's that song you just sang?
It's a song called Face by Beck.
I'm impressed, Tanaka-kun.
Thank you. This guitar seems to be fine.
-Shall I give you lessons, then? -Yes. Thank you!
Thank you for letting me use your White Falcon all this time.
Mm-hmm...Let me know anytime you want to use it.
You can borrow it anytime.
All right.
Uh...hello...I'm ready anytime.
What about you, Momo-chan?
I see. Then, see you as usual in front of the dog...Bye...
Momoko-sensei!
Actually, word got out that I once worked for a week at a cabaret club
thanks to a former student.
It became a problem among the staff when they found out I had kept it a secret.
It was such a shock. I was really troubled over it.
I tried going to various seminars...
-And then... -I became her confidant.
No one understands better than I do about the entertainment business.
Yeah, better than anyone...
Ouch!
Our relationship is still platonic, so don't go saying anything unnecessary.
Mm...
So long, Koyuki-kun!
Kenichi Saito, 44...Currently dashing through the roads of his youth.
I haven't seen you at work recently, Masuoka-san.
The truth is, I made a mistake that was a big blow to the shop,
and so they fired me...
But I'm really excited about the new club I joined!
Oh...
So long...
Grade 10-B, Hiromi Masuoka...
Huh? You know her?
Sure. I've checked her out.
Ohh...
When she was in intermediate school, she had a good record.
Oh?
I wonder if she wouldn't come to our live show...
I wonder...
Hiromi, why don't you take a break? You must be thirsty.
-Here. -Thanks!
Okay! I'll invite her later.
Huh?

Hello? Hey, Mr. Albin... Hey, how's our CD going?
What?!
Brother...It's because of your victory... that I am now able to walk!
Huh...Don't be silly...
Brother...Brother!!
Thank you very much!
Hmm...
What are you doing, kid?!
I'm sorry!
...feel totally loose

What are you doing, Koyuki?!
Boy, am I hungry.
Yeah...
Let's have some ramen noodles before we head home.
Hmm...Good idea.
Ramen again?!
Yo!
Huh?
Sorry to keep you waiting.
Where's Ryusuke-kun?
Something came up so he gave me the tickets and told me to go.
"'Three Days' Directed by Jim Walsh- No.1 hit in U.S.!!"
Why are you always like this?!
What can I do? Our way of living is too different.
Right. That's it, then.
Maybe...
I still love you.
Me, too.
Take care.
-The movie was a little hard to understand, but the characters were so real
-It's been a while. How's life?
-The movie was a little hard to understand, but the characters were so real
-I'm alive...
-that when the movie ended, I felt a little sad leaving them.
-It's a tough world.
-That when the movie ended, I felt a little sad leaving them.
-Yeah.
Jim Walsh...This director is a genius!
Yeah. It was interesting.
Why, I didn't get sleepy at all.
I hear this movie is such a hit that Dying Breed's concert tour movie
is going to be released simultaneously in the U.S. And Japan.
Oh? Their concert tour movie?
Hi!
Maho, I'm going to have dinner with Morita and Eguchi-san, whom I'm playing with.
Are you free on Saturday?
That's nice, but I've got a Beck's live.
He says he's having dinner with Eguchi-san!
Huh?!
Call me again the next time.
-What?! You're not gonna say you... -Bye!
Now...Let's go and get something to eat.
Okay!
What? Really!
Yeah. They seem to be selling pretty well.
Our song...
Seems it's unusual for a Japanese band.
That president gets things done.
Uh...His name was Albin-san, was it?
What's wrong?
I should've signed the contract for royalties.
What? You mean it doesn't matter how many copies they sell?!
-So no matter how many copies they sell... -Ouch!
What...What? Aargh!
Spice!
Check, check, check, check...
Uh! Uh!

As I say reason I'm late on
Find you turning
Laughing and smiling
My ears are still ringing... but it was really great.
Really? I'm glad.
Right, Saku?
Yeah, for real.
It was awesome!
And the crowd was huge!
Little by little we've been getting bigger crowds.
Come again, Masuoka-san.
-I will! -Hmph!
I hear Beck's playing at the Marquee next.
No way...That's terrific!
They're really gaining in popularity.
Say, didn't that guy look like Yoshito Morozumi?
No way...Really?
He wouldn't be in a place like this...
Hmph! They're nothing but a little-known amateur band!
There was a message from the president.
They're going to print more copies of our CD.
So our music is playing in America?
Yeah...
-Say... -Huh?
Can you tell me the story?
Where did you get it?
I stole it.
You broke into cars?!
We had time on our hands, so Eddy and I often did it.
And then we came upon that hot car.
What surprised us more was...
That's Lucille!
What? This car is no good, Eddy.
No, look! This is Sonny Boy Waters' guitar.
He's a blues guitarist. Even Eric Clapton respects him.
He's a legend.
Sonny Boy?
Serial Number...8-3001...
Dude, that's it!
Come on! Let's go!
See, Sonny Boy and this guy were
fighting over this woman called Lucille in a night club.
And the guy shot Sonny Boy right on the stage.
You mean, during the play?
The guitar's been called Lucille ever since then.
That's insane...
Okay. Let's get outta here. Come on.
Hey, Ray!
I kind of like this guitar.
What?
I'll be the legend after Sonny Boy.
-Huh? -Huh?
And that's when I met up with Beck.
I found out later...
The car belonged to someone really dangerous.
And now he's searching frantically for Beck and Lucille.

Really took me for a ride
