If you loved A Gentle Breeze in the Village, try Linda Linda Linda
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Nobuhiro Yamashita, and they both carry the bittersweet, cozy, tender mood tags, and they sit in Comedy / Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to A Gentle Breeze in the Village, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.

What Linda Linda Linda is
A film about the universal language of rock, or at least its three-chord vocabulary. With their singer gone, a Japanese high-school band recruits a Korean exchange student to front their Blue Hearts cover. It all works out about as well as you'd expect, and maybe even a little better.
