Director Nobuhiro Yamashita said at the press and distribution premiere of the 4K remastering at Megabox COEX in Samseong-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul on the 12th, "There are no plans to produce a sequel at present, but if we do, it will not be a simple task."
Released in 2006, "Linda Linda" depicts the clumsy and sparkling youth of a high school girl band preparing for a festival to end her high school career and a Korean international student Song (Bae Doo-na), who became a vocalist in an unexpected manner, and director Nobuhiro Yamashita took the megaphone.
As for the secret of the long-lasting love of "Linda Linda," Bae Doo-na said, "I think many people will like it even after 30, 40 years, not 20 years." When the movie was released, Western audiences also loved it. I think it contains universal emotions that cross borders and the director's own wit. Our movie is light and doesn't have emotional waves, so I think it's a work that you can watch comfortably"He expressed his special feelings.
Finally, director Nobuhiro Yamashita commented on the possibility of making a sequel to 「Linda Linda」, "I often think in my head, but they're not holding an instrument in my head. Maybe even if I make a sequel, I don't think it will contain a band story. We don't have any plans to produce a sequel at this time, but if we do, I don't think the work itself will be simple.'
Meanwhile 'Linda Linda' is a movie with the theme of the song 'Linda Linda' by Japanese punk rock band Blue Hearts. Marking its 20th anniversary this year, it will be released in theaters on the 17th in a 4K remastered version.
