During a childhood camping trip in the quiet forest, Kasumi Toyama heard the cadence of the "Star Beat" beneath a glittering sky. That shimmering, pulse‑pounding rhythm etched itself in her memory, and ever since she has chased that electrifying spark.
Now a new student at Hanasakigawa Girls" High, Kasumi is more resolute than ever to recapture that lost sensation. She joins countless school clubs—drama, music, and astronomy—and even contemplates a part‑time job, yet none feel right. Then she stumbles upon a star‑shaped guitar in the storage of an old pawn shop. The instrument draws her to a live house, where she watches a concert for the first time and is mesmerized by the stage lights and roaring crowd. Fueled by adrenaline, she immediately resolves to start a band, even though the motive is unclear. This bold step forces her to face many obstacles with friends she meets along the way, all while pursuing that twinkling, heart‑throbbing thrill once more. She knows that each challenge will bring her closer to the music that filled her heart with wonder.
