From Seven Seas:Dai lived a normal high school life in Sendai: a city of hot summer days and rainy nights. Between basketball, part-time jobs, and an uncertain future, something was missing.And that thing was music. With his days in senior year running out, Dai swears a heartfelt vow: “I’m gonna be the best jazz player in the world.” But what do you need to be the best? Talent? Effort? A lucky break?
