Synopsis:
This is a story of a 14 year old boy named Yukio Tanaka, nicknamed "Koyuki". Feeling out of place in his second year of middle school, Koyuki runs into an old friend from grammar school named Izumi. After their reunion Izumi starts to hang out with Koyuki again, and introduces him to music other then pop music. While daydreaming on the street one day, Koyuki sees some kids picking on a weird dog named Beck. Koyuki tells the kids to go away as Beck's owner Ryuusuke shows up to get his dog. Grateful that Koyuki helped his dog, Ryuusuke invites Koyuki to see his band Serial Mamas perform at a live. After the live Koyuki wants to learn more about rock music having been inspired by Ryuusuke's band. Meanwhile, with Serial Mama broken up Ryuusuke decides to make his own band and wants it to be the best band there is. Thrown into the world of rock, Koyuki has the chance to see a band formed right before his very eyes.
