eleki no wakadaisho (1965)

aka Young General's Electric Guitar. Campus A-Go-Go. Electric Guitar Young Guy.
The second film in the "Wakadaisho" (Young General) series has Yuzo Kayama as a college American-football player who starts his own Eleki band to enter a talent contest. One of the members is Takeshi Terauchi, who plays a noodle delivery man.
The version I have doesn't have subtitles and as my Japanese is limited to 'excuse me' and counting to ten I didn't really get the nuances of it, but as in most teen movies there's not a lot of plot but lots of good looking bands playing Eleki (
instrumental electric guitar music a la the Ventures and Dick Dale).
