Lace up your Docs and head to the mosh pit-Harold Sakuishi's manga series that spawned the hit anime is back!

One day, Ryusuke receives an unexpected phone call from genius film director, Jim Walsh, who happens to be in Japan for just one day! Jim tells Ryusuke he wants to meet him in person, but as luck would have it, BECK is already scheduled to film a music video the same day... However, through a chain of chance circumstances, things go off the rails when Jim winds up directing BECK's music video himself!
