From the team behind classic Cowboy Bebop, diirector Shinichiro Watanabe and composer Yoko Kanno team up once again. It's the summer of 1966 and high school freshman Kaoru Nishimi is struggling to adjust to the latest of many moves in his young life, this time to his uncle's home in the seaside town of Kyushu. It's never easy adjusting and it's never easy fitting in, but this time will be different. This time he'll meet friends who will change his life forever, and he'll discover a new passion, one that grabs his heart and rocks him to his very soul. It's music. A beat. A whole new way of looking at life. It's called jazz, and together with bad boy Sentaro and music store girl Ritsuko, they're going to follow their muse to wherever their music takes them!
