Rock is not Dead
Let’s start by saying this drama was a breath of fresh air, it was heart warming and almost magical. Maybe, for me, nostalgic just because Beck is still one of my favorite movies and I love when Japan does band dramas/movies. But in each and every episode of this drama, several times, I would say to myself Rock is not dead or at least it is not Dead in Japan.
This drama had music as its main genre, I don’t even know if music can be described as a genre but if you watch it I’m sure that is what you will define the genre as well and it works.
I can say if the whole drama was just about the band and nothing of the others plot points was present, none of the personal conflicts, it would still be an amazing drama, they made music became the reason, the development, the main character and also an essential part of everything.
But when you add everything else of characters development and sub plots happening in the story this drama goes from being amazing to being fantastic, and it is a step up in the ladder.
I fell in love with all the characters in it, from the main one to the least important. All of them were so multidimensional and well portrayed, even if in the first glance they appeared very cliche they would do something that made them special.
Trying to say something about Sato Takeru portrayal of Naoki, is very hard, the more years pass the more acting I see of him, the more I fall in love. This man is charming as h**l, and I love everything he does, sorry I can’t be impractical at it.
All the members of the band did an amazing job, but my shout out goes to Takaishi Akari as Yukino, her character was so well made, so interesting, so refreshing and she was just a support role, and I wanted to see more of her.
Truly I wanted to see more of everything, the end of this drama left me wanting so much more, give me a season 2, 3, 4, 55 I will watch it all.
Talking about the soundtrack is a joke of so much perfect it was, it made me listen to it all and made me want to listen to my old playlist of my teenage years full of Myavi,l'arc en ciel, orange rang, high and might color, and everything I would listen from Japan.
And finally, if you ask me if I would rewatch it, I finished it 2 days ago, and I already think of watching again.
