Taku, who has an exceptional memory for everything he observes, makes an effort to keep a low profile to avoid becoming overwhelmed by the influx of information. Since music doesn't linger in his mind, he frequently hums melodies to help sort through his thoughts. His classmates, Mick and Yoji, often join in by either rapping or harmonizing with him, creating a playful atmosphere. One day, the trio encounters a group of troublemaking high school students called the Nakayama Koza Union, led by their powerful leader, Ganaha Ryu. As tensions rise, Taku’s father, Takita Hiroki, along with his twin sibling, Angama—also known as Takita Koichi—arrive just in time to intervene. For an unexpected reason, they find themselves engaged in a rap battle, where Taku’s father and his twin, along with Ganaha Ryu’s younger brother, Ganaha Rui, commonly referred to as Beam-kun, start competing in rap. Beam-kun delivers a commanding performance, and when Taku is criticized for his rapping not qualifying as real rap, the audience and members of the Nakayama Koza Union hurl insults, igniting a brawl. Mick fights valiantly like a warrior, but ultimately, both he and Yoji are outnumbered and find themselves in a precarious situation. At that critical moment, Taku unexpectedly begins to sing, and his captivating voice captures everyone's attention. The fighting halts, and the spectators, touched by his spontaneous song, start to weep. Because of Taku’s performance, Ganaha Ryu recognizes him, leading to Taku, Mick, and Yoji gaining new allies…
