Bocchi The Rock!

The day proceeded normally in Shimokitazawa, with busy streets, open shops, and the distant sound of instruments escaping from small studios and concert venues. In the basement of STARRY, Kessoku Band was trying to keep another rehearsal in order: Nijika organized everything with her cheerful demeanor, Ryo seemed lost in her own thoughts, Kita chatted energetically as always, and Hitori Gotou remained huddled in some corner, clutching her guitar as if it were her only shield against the world.

While Seika observed the movement with her serious expression and PA-san handled the sound, the routine of the place began to take on that strange atmosphere that seemed to accompany any encounter between musicians. Between performances, rehearsals, unexpected visits, and conversations about bands, even people from outside the group could end up getting caught up in that small musical chaos.

On the other side of the underground scene, Kikuri Hiroi, Eliza Shimizu, and Shima Iwashita also carried the striking presence of SICK HACK, mixing talent, confusion, and eccentricity. And, far from the stages, the Gotou family continued to be Hitori's silent support system: Michiyo and Naoki with their quiet patience, Futari with her overly direct energy, and Jimihen completing the domestic atmosphere of the home.

Between guitars, drums, bass, anxiety, friendship, and dreams of the stage, that day seemed like just another ordinary beginning. But, for anyone who approached this world, a single conversation, a performance, or a small coincidence was enough to end up trapped in the unpredictable rhythm of these bands.
