The main character dropped out of high school in her second year and aims to go to college while working alone in Tokyo. One girl was betrayed by her friends and doesn't know what to do. Another girl was abandoned by her parents and tries to survive in the city by working part-time jobs. This world always disappoints us. Nothing goes as planned. But we want something we can continue to love. We believe that there is a place where we belong. That's why we sing.

Mari Kondō and Jae Hoon Jung are the CGI directors. Kenji Tamai (agehasprings, Sing”Yesterday”for Me, Samurai Flamenco) composed the music.
