Kenji, Asakura and Ota are textbook examples of slackers. This changes when Kenji comes into possession of a bass guitar. Fascinated by the instrument, he encourages his friends to form a band – which is soon invited to perform at a music festival. Kenji IWAISAWA’s almost single-handedly animated feature-length film debut is a masterpiece of laconic humor.
