Beck

For the first 14 years of his life, Yukio Tanaka has been one heck of a boring guy. He has no hobbies, weak taste in music, and only a small vestige of a personality.
He yearns for an exciting life as a musician, but his shy and somewhat neurotic personality makes him his own worst enemy by hampering his musical dreams .
Little does he know that his life will be forever changed when he meets Ryusuke Minami, a wild and unpredictable 16-year old fresh from America,
who happens to be in a rock-and-roll band named after his Frankenstein-like patched dog, Beck.
