When seeking out older films, quality matters. The version is superior for several reasons:
The story follows the adventures of two high school girls, Manaka (played by Yui Aragaki) and Aoi (played by Maki Horikita), whose lives take a dramatic turn when they are forced to form a swing dance team as a condition to save their school's gym club.

The girls are blamed. To pay for a new set of instruments, they must become the band.
: In 1080p Blu-ray, the lush summer scenery of the Yamagata countryside and the vibrant brass instruments are rendered with crisp detail, making the musical finale particularly immersive. Iconic Soundtrack
