Moved to the Trivia tab.
Deleted line(s) 11 (click to see context) :
* DawsonCasting: The girls were supposed to be 17 or 18 years old; however, only Yuu Kashii (Kei) averts it since she was 18 at the time of the film's release. [[Film/BattleRoyale Aki Maeda]] (Kyoko) and Shiori Sekine (Nozomi) were 20 and 19 respectively, but Bae Doona (Son) was 25.
Deleted line(s) 18 (click to see context) :
* RealitySubtext: Done very subtly; Koyama-sensei, the teacher who keeps on eye on the girls throughout the film, is played by Komoto Masahiko, younger brother of Komoto Hiroto (vocalist of The Blue Hearts).

Not a trope
Deleted line(s) 17 (click to see context) :
* NoKoreansInJapan: Noticeably averted. Son, the Korean exchange student, is portrayed positively, even if she can be a bit [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]]. Her struggle to learn Japanese and form a closer group of friends at her Japanese school are major plot points. She even hosts an exhibit on Korean culture at the school festival.

Kuudere is now being used only for the fanspeak term; examples belong under Sugar And Ice Personality.
Deleted line(s) 16 (click to see context) :
* KuuDere: Kei, the guitarist. Usually stoic, she shows off her more sensitive side in the sweet (but very strange) dream she has towards the end of the film, and in her interactions with her band mates.

The title comes from the hit punk song "Linda Linda", originally performed by the [[PunkRock Blue Hearts]], which the girls cover.

!!This film provides examples of:
* AnnoyingYoungerSibling: Nozomi has several.
* CanNotSpitItOut: Kyoko can't confess her love to Kazuya, who also seems to be unable to do the same to her.
* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Son seems to qualify, though she's a more subtle, realistic example of the trope. Some of her cuckoolander-ness comes from her linguistic misunderstandings, but she's also eccentric on her own (beef darts, anyone?)
* DaydreamSurprise: Kei's dream near the end of the film. The events seem normal enough until her ex-boyfriend presents her with a glove that looks like a hand (made by Yamaha), and the band somehow ends up at the Budokan, getting ready to perform for the {{Ramones}}.

* DeFictionalization: The band in the film, "Paran Maum", also released a real-life single, "We Are Paran Maum".
* [[spoiler:DidNotGetTheGirl]]: None of the characters [[spoiler:with love interests get the guy]]. Son [[spoiler:rejects the boy who confesses his love to her]], Kyoko [[spoiler:is too shy to tell Kazuya how she feels]], and Kei [[spoiler:doesn't get back together with her ex-boyfriend, even though she still seems to have feelings for him]]. Still, this is all depicted as less important than the girls' friendship and their love of music.
* FinaglesLaw: Of the frustrating, not humorous, kind. On the day of the concert [[spoiler:the girls fall asleep during practice. They wake up a few minutes after 3:30 (when their band was scheduled to perform) and must catch a bus back to campus, but not before Kei accidentally hangs up on Kyoko's crush, who's been waiting for her for an hour. On the way to the bus stop, it starts to rain cats and dogs. Then, Nozomi forgets her bass and has to go back for it. The girls take a taxi back to school, but while running to the auditorium, Son does a face-plant on the concrete.]] Things get better after that, though.
* IntergenerationalFriendship: Before joining the band, Son's best friend is a little girl. The two of them hang out and read {{Shojo}} manga together.
* KuuDere: Kei, the guitarist. Usually stoic, she shows off her more sensitive side in the sweet (but very strange) dream she has towards the end of the film, and in her interactions with her band mates.
* LoveConfession: Comes up a couple of times. A boy very awkwardly confesses his love to Son. And later, drummer Kyoko attempts to confess her feelings to her crush, Kazuya. [[spoiler:Too bad she CannotSpitItOut.]]
* NoKoreansInJapan: Noticeably averted. Son, the Korean exchange student, is portrayed positively, even if she can be a bit [[{{Cloudcuckoolander}} odd]]. Her struggle to learn Japanese and form a closer group of friends at her Japanese school are major plot points. She even hosts an exhibit on Korean culture at the school festival.
* RainRainGoAway: This is reason why the gym is full of people when the girls play.
* RealitySubtext: Done very subtly; Koyama-sensei, the teacher who keeps on eye on the girls throughout the film, is played by Komoto Masahiko, younger brother of Komoto Hiroto (vocalist of The Blue Hearts).
* SchoolFestival: The entire movie takes place over the course of one of these festivals. Kyoko and Son have to balance their band practices with their other duties at the festival (Kyoko helps her class sell crepes, and Son runs a "Japan/Korea Cultural Exchange" center.)
* ShoutOut: The SchoolFestival episode "Live Alive" of ''TheMelancholyOfHaruhiSuzumiya'' [[http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v449/jahn0603/MIsc/LindaLindaLinda.jpg it's almost a shot-by-shot recreation of the final scene of this movie]]. Also, Haruhi's guitar is the same as Kei's.
* SliceOfLife: Obviously. Except for the rock scenes, this is a very laid-back film.
* TeamMom: Nozomi, especially noticeable when the girls go shopping for food at a supermarket.
