SYNOPSIS:

In the Ginza area of Tokyo during the 1950's Eiji approaches the owner of a jazz club, Miyako to ask her to promote his older brother, Shoichi. Shoichi has recently come out of jail and has aspirations to become a musician. Eiji is a student of a famous music academy. At first Miyako is reluctant to help him. But then events unfold between Miyako and the drummer, Charlie, from the band she is promoting. Charlie and Miyako were once seeing each other but he is now seeing one of the club's dancers, Mary. Under Mary's influence he decides to go solo and leaves Miyako's band without a drummer.

With the support of dirty hooligans Charlie begins to make his solo career. Shoichi joins the band to replace Charlie. Miyako realizes that Shoichi is a very talented drummer and could be the best in Japan. Under her relentless training Shoichi blossoms and begins to get noticed. Miyako and Shoichi slowly become involved with each other.

However, even though Shoichi is beginning to make something of himself, his mother refuses to acknowledge him and treats him coldly. Shoichi reacts with anger, the only emotion he is able to show when things don't go his way.
