摇滚青年

監督を務めた陣内がかつて在籍していたバンド「TH eROCKERS」の青春を描いた、陣内の自伝的映画作品である。1996年にバイク事故によって死去した、TH eROCKERSのギタリストであった谷信雄への思いから、陣内はこの映画の企画を立ち上げた。そして「映画にするのなら観客を楽しませる内容でなければならない」との考えから、こだわったライブシーンと笑いあり涙ありのストーリーとした。 プロットは陣内が1998年に書いた自伝的小説「アメイジング・グレイス」（幻冬社）によっている。'Rockers' is an inconspicuous provincial rock band which could brag of empty halls and a single fan only. Jin (group soloist) desperately dreamed of a rock star career instead of a carpenter family business. Bassist Gaku-chan so much wanted to fly since childhood that has serious problems with the use of every possible types of psychotropic substances. Momo-chan (drums) have no luck in love, and every new failure only leaves crossed out tattoos on his body. Ko-chan (guitar) is a mess of sexual repression after a childhood at the mercy of two elder sisters eager to use him as a guinea pig for their make-up skills. The band would drag to a bleak existence, until they forced to look for an additional guitar player and crazy talented and charismatic guitarist Tani joins them. Now when the group found its soul and the engine, they intend to fly to the top and reach all their dreams: to become professional musicians and stars, have a lot of fans, women and drugs.
