Childhood friends Nino (Ayami Nakajo), Momo (Yuta Koseki) and Yuzu (Jun Shison) share a special bond in music. Nino loves to sing with Momo (her first love) while Yuzu composes songs. When they part ways, Nino experiences a profound sense of loss. Momo and Yuzu promise they will find her, as long as she keeps singing. Six years later, Nino is reunited with Yuzu in high school and discovers that he is a member of a popular “anonymous” band called “in No hurry to shout” (a.k.a. Ino-hari).
When Nino appears on the scene, Ino-Hari’s vocalist Miou (Erina Mano) , drops out of the band. She has a secret crush on Yuzu.
Nino joins Ino-hari as their lead vocalist and continues to cultivate her singing voice, hoping that it will someday reach her first, lost love, Momo.
Yuzu harbors secret feelings for Nino, Miou cannot forget her feelings for Yuzu, band member Haruyoshi (Yosuke Sugino) has a crush on Miou, and mood-maker Kuro (Hayato Isomura) holds the band together. One day, Nino hears of a music studio-sponsored vocal audition produced by someone who might be Momo! Could it really be him…? Nino’s reunion with Yuzu sets everyone’s repressed feelings in motion…!
