CJS Winter 2026 Film Series | Linda Linda Linda (リンダ リンダ リンダ)

Only three days before their high school festival, guitarist Kei, drummer Kyoko, and bassist Nozomi are forced to recruit a new lead vocalist for their band. They choose Korean exchange student Son, though her comprehension of Japanese is a bit rough! It’s a race against time as the group struggles to learn three songs for the festival’s rock concert, including a classic ’80s song by the Japanese punk rock band The Blue Hearts called “Linda Linda.”

Attendance is free and open to the public, and no prior registration is required. Seating is first-come, first-served, and doors open at 6:30 PM.
