"No one can know about these feelings. But at least I can think of you while I dance." It's the 16th year of the Showa era (1941), and Soutarou Kuramoto, the son of a distinguished family, is returning from his studies abroad with something on his mind. As a child, he told his best friend, Haroumi Asuma, "I hate the way you dance." Determined to apologize, he visits Haroumi, but the young man -- now a renowned dancer -- deftly avoids him. Or perhaps there's another reason why he won't meet with Shoutarou...? Set in an era where connecting with the person you love wasn't easy, a reunion with a childhood friend allows a long hidden love to bloom.
