Synopsis

Sometimes a deep yearning and a fierce dedication are all you need. Miyamoto Dai used to be a straight-laced, run-of-the-mill teenager. Dai was in the basketball club, trying to shoot a three-pointer and doing what he could to fit in; but in his heart he was aimless. After a friend invited him to a jazz performance however, everything changed for the lost soul. Something within Dai opened up and his ambition to play the tenor sax and become a great jazz musician was suddenly born. Without sheet music, formal tuition; without teachers or institutions; Dai finds the instrument he loves and plays from his heart. Putting his lips to the reed every day and practicing as much as he can, the once-lost teenager is now set on a dedicated path to free expression and musical acclaim. Sometimes reckless but always sincere in his love for jazz, Dai has found his calling and will not be deterred from reaching his dream.
