Synopsis:

Kasumi Toyama carries a childhood memory – the resonant "Star Beat" heard under a vast night sky – a sensation of exhilarating vibrancy she’s been chasing ever since. Now a student at Hanasakigawa Girls' High School, Kasumi feels a persistent disconnect from conventional school life. Her search for that familiar thrill leads her to an unexpected discovery: a star-shaped guitar in a dusty pawn shop.

This find propels her toward the vibrant world of live music, sparking an impulsive decision to form a band. The series follows Kasumi as she navigates the challenges of band formation and performance alongside newfound companions. The narrative explores themes of self-discovery, pursuing passion, and finding connection through shared artistic endeavors, all framed within the lively atmosphere of a high school setting. It's a story about searching for something deeply personal and the journey of bringing that feeling to life.
