When you’re a bored teenager looking for thrills, sometimes the only thing you can turn to is rock ‘n roll. Having no skill, money, or even a full set of drums, a feared trio of high school delinquents nevertheless decide they are destined for musical glory in a quest to impress their only friend Aya, avoid a rival gang, and – most importantly – jam out. Animated almost entirely by director Kenji Iwaisawa, and featuring a lead performance by Japanese alt-rock legend Shintaro Sakamoto, ON-GAKU: OUR SOUND brings its own sound and vision to the Hiroyuki Oohashi manga from which it was adapted. With pitch-perfect deadpan humor, the film presents a highly original take on the beloved slacker comedy: a lo-fi buddy film with a blaring musical finale that will leave you wanting an immediate encore.

Where it came from
On-Gaku: Our Sound was released in 2020, based on the self-published manga by Hiroyuki Ohashi. Directed and animated by Kenji Iwaisawa, the film was a labor of love that took over seven years to complete, utilizing a distinctive rotoscoping technique where the team traced over live-action footage of the animators and their friends performing the musical sequences.
The film was produced by the studio Rock'n Roll Mountain and sought to capture the understated, deadpan humor of the original source material. It was met with significant critical acclaim for its singular visual style and its charming, low-stakes narrative about three aimless delinquents who decide to form a band despite having no musical experience. Its success helped bring increased international attention to Ohashi's unique brand of minimalist storytelling.
