Yukio Tanaka — Koyuki to his friends — is fourteen years old and comprehensively unremarkable. He is not athletic, not popular, not particularly talented at anything, and has spent most of his adolescence drifting through the comfortable numbness of being a nobody. Then he meets Ryusuke Minami: a guitarist just back from the United States, carrying a battered dog named Beck and a reputation for trouble, whose playing sounds like nothing Koyuki has ever heard. Ryusuke teaches Koyuki to play guitar. Koyuki turns out to have a voice — a voice that, when it comes out fully, stops rooms. Around them assembles a band: Taira on bass, Saku on drums, Chiba on vocals. They call themselves Beck, and they start playing. The road from a practice space in Tokyo to the stage at Grateful Sound is not short, and it is not easy, and it is not free of the kind of setbacks that destroy most bands. But the music is real, and so is Koyuki's feeling for Maho — Ryusuke's sister — and both of those things turn out to be enough to keep going.
 
Beck: Mongolian Chop Squad is a 26-episode music drama series produced by Madhouse — the studio behind Vampire Hunter D: Bloodlust, Kaiba, and Paprika — directed and written by Osamu Kobayashi, and based on Harold Sakuishi's manga, which won the 2002 Kodansha Manga Award in the shonen category and has sold over 15 million copies. It aired on TV Tokyo from October 7, 2004 to March 31, 2005.
 The series is widely considered the definitive music anime — distinguished by its real rock sensibility, its accurate depiction of the work and culture of band life, and its extensive use of actual licensed music alongside original songs performed for the series.
