Until then, Kaoru was an honor roll student who tended to keep to himself alone
however, meeting notorious "bad boy" Sentaro Kawabuchi starts to change him, even discovers his jazz soul
Through this devil-may-care classmate and a girl named Ritsuko Mukae, Kaoru learns how much fun it is to play jazz and finds the first person he can call a real friend.
A memorable scene I can still recall it clearly is their first meet.
