This starts and ends with a concert. I loved every bit of the music. This alone makes it worth the watch. Naoki is a musical genius. He lives for the sounds that his brain soaks like a sponge to spin songs that takes you to a happy place. He is hard to know because he deliberately cuts himself off from the world to let the sounds around inspire him. He meets three others that changes his musical view. Sho has a gift with guitar and made him form a group. Akane opens his heart to the beat of her drums. Kazushi opened the door to challenge him on keyboards. Together they form bonds of friendship and music that turns them into family. It explores the darker side of the industry and how naive talent can be exploited. How jealousy between brothers can be settled with musical competition and grudges forgiven with better understanding. That healing can come through selfless giving and combining of talents so that all are represented. There are definite flaws but still a good watch and if you like the music, a definite rewatch of the last episode for the concert is highly recommended.
