Post Description

 Kosuke Matsuyama (Shun Shioya), is a second-year high school student. A nice, normal, nonviolent type, he suddenly finds himself in the middle of a rampaging crowd of ethnic Korean boys, outraged by insults perpetrated by several of his idiot classmates on two Korean girls. He makes a narrow escape, but soon after, he and his best bud Yoshio (Keisuke Koide) are sent by their homeroom teacher to invite the Korean students to a friendly soccer game as a way of restoring the peace. Trembling like black-uniformed leaves, they enter enemy territory, where Kosuke encounters a doll-faced, but serious-looking girl (Erika Sawajiri) playing a Korean folk song, "Imjin River", on a flute. The story centers on Kosuke's struggle to not only master a song, but win the love of a girl who seems to live in an alien, hostile world. Meanwhile, Ang Son and his crew are street fighting with Japanese toughs as if playing a contact sport, with one side scoring hits, then the other.

chochoc's comments:
English subs are by Mazaliche so all thanks to him (or her), I just added them to the DVD quickly with no extra qc, no re-timing and no alterations (apart from editing a handful of line overlaps only).  So the subs are basically 'as is'.  I was almost tempted to do some re-timing I must admit, but at 1300+ lines it didn't seem like a fun option.
