Synopsis
I'm a school refusal child who has been withdrawn and listening to music all the time. However, the bright red guitar I picked up at the garbage dump changed my destiny. It was possessed by the ghost of Keith Moore, a guitarist who died in a car accident.

"You sing a song that I couldn't release while I was alive."

A ghost hit me in the ass and I started a live performance on the street in Ikebukuro. There, I met Miu, a diva who hides her identity and wanders around the city at night, and many street performers.

A sad and sweet story of youth and music sung by lost cats on the street.
