Nobuhiko Obayashi (Hausu) takes on the Bōsōzoku (youth bike gang) genre with a poetic and bittersweet look at rebellious youth and young love.
After being threatened by his girlfriend’s brother, Ko (Riki Takeuchi) goes on a trip on his Kawasaki to contemplate his options. He meets Miiyo (Kiwako Harada) by chance, and the two stay in touch. He later receives an invitation to her island, where he begins to teach her how to ride, and quickly falls for her. Miiyo is an extremely quick study, and the two are a well-matched pair. However, her obsession with motorbikes seems to be leading her down a dangerous path.

FAQs
I think few directors understand as well as Obayashi how the things we want or could be irks us and frustrates us. This, house and his anti-war trilogy are filled with regrets from what could have been, but more importantly why that knowledge grants us foresight and control to the decisions we make, and responsability for greater actions. And it may sound weird to write this review not about his three anti-war films, but rather his 'biking film,' but this, alongside his other young films understands that the events happenind are such that the characters may have to look back upon in the future.
great movie and great blu ray!
