Taro is a 12-year-old into baseball and radio, especially "Music Express," a song-request show. Sound quaint? But it is 1977 and a small town in Hokkaido, a more innocent, pure-hearted time and place, we are told. Taro, however, has a blood disease that lands him in the hospital where his aunt is a nurse. Rounds of tests, transfusions and injections sap his spirit, despite the kindness and dedication of his young doctor and the Doctor's hospital-director father. The latter, a music buff who broadcasts classics over the hospital's PA system, asks Taro to relieve him as DJ — and soon the boy is ensconced in the hospital director's well-stocked library-cum-studio, spinning popular J-Pop tunes. He also becomes acquainted with Tamaki, a girl he first calls "the mummy" because of her bandages and full body cast — she was injured in a traffic accident. He later changes his tune when she is revealed as a cute 13-year-old — for him, an older woman...

Жизнь школьников их же глазами не кажется такой простой. Сюсукэ Хосино и Юити Хасуми познакомились в клубе кэндо в самом начале средней школы. Юити и Хосино стали друзьями. Летняя подготовка по кэндо оказалась трудной и жёсткой, поэтому Хосино, Юити и другие мальчики из класса решили хотели поехать на Окинаву, чтобы отдохнуть. Парни воруют деньги у одного богатого мужчины на парковке и отправляются в путешествие. На каникулах на Окинаве Хосино пережил околосмертный опыт, после чего его личность сильно изменилась: ранее добродушный Хосино превращается в жестокого манипулятора. Однажды в классе Хосино потерял контроль и бросил стул в другого ученика, после чего стал издеваться над ним. С этого момента жизнь одноклассников Хосино кардинально меняется — сам Хосино вполне осознаёт свою власть и пользуется ею. Юити, одержимый творчеством загадочной певицы и ищущий спасения в её мечтательных меланхоличных песнях, подумать не мог, что его мучитель тоже любит слушать песни Лили.
