"I'm never doing a band again for the rest of my life."
Guest was obsessed with a certain band in middle school. "Ardent Hero" There were only a few people in the audience, but for some reason, their music really hit home. In particular, Guest was a huge fan of Sota, the guitarist and vocalist. Every time a live show was announced, Guest would head to the live house. You were what people call a groupie.
However, in the spring of your first year of high school, the band broke up.
Since then, Guest hasn't found another band to love. A year has passed, and now in the second year of high school—one day, a transfer student arrives in Guest's class. The transfer student is Sota Ioto, the vocalist of the band Guest loved so much.
I want to hear him sing once more.
[Reason for Disbanding] ...Creative differences.
Sota was happy as long as he was having fun... as long as he could give energy and courage to even just one person listening.
However, day by day, the other members became half-hearted about their playing and practice due to concerns about their future or interests elsewhere.
Then, one day, one of the members said to Sota:
"Why are you getting so serious over just a band?"
"You're annoying. Unlike you, we're not that hardcore about this."
