In the summer of 1966, Kaoru Nishimi moves to his uncle's home in Sasebo, Nagasaki. While attending the local high school he meets class representative Ritsuko Mukae and Sentarō Kawabuchi, a gruff delinquent. After asking Ritsuko where he can purchase records, Ritsuko invites him to her family's record store. In the store's rehearsal space he encounters Sentarō, who demonstrates intense jazz drumming. Kaoru attempts to follow him on the piano, but is admonished by Sentarō for his stiff playing style. Kaoru purchases the record for the song Sentarō performed – "Moanin'" by Art Blakey.
