Wiki.
Bandage (バンデイジ, bandeiji), stylized as BANDAGE, is a 2010 Japanese independent film directed by Takeshi Kobayashi, who also served as the editor, producer and composer and written and produced by Shunji Iwai. Based on the original novel Good Dreams (グッドドリームズ, guddodorīmuzu) by Chika Kan, Iwai adapted it along with Kan and renamed it Bandage.
The movie title has actually two meanings, a literal one, which is a play on the words "Band Age", because the story takes place in Japan's early 1990s, the boom of indie rock bands. And a figurative one, in which a certain character uses music as a "bandage" to heal the feeling of worthlessness.
