A year in the life of a 17 year old high school boy in Tokyo provides a light and at times hilarious look at adolescent angst and bravado. With his main objectives being to draw attention to himself, earn the admiration of girls, especially one sylph-like goddess, Ken Yazaki joins a politico society to plan an anti-establishment barricade of his school and plans a film and stage play with a couple of his best friends.

In the background, providing us with references to the times, are references to the music and musicians of the times, both jazz and rock and roll.

It's a wonderful snapshot of an innocent time for Ken and his friends in their last year in high school before sitting for the university entrance exams or moving on to different directions in their lives.
