A group of schoolgirls came into contact with jazz by chance. At once they were attracted by it. At first they met many difficulties. No instrument. No teacher. However they never lost the passion for jazz. They did what they can to earn money to buy the instrument. They did it.

The learning process was hard for them and funny for me to watch. With the help of their teacher, they improved quickly their level. Their performance in the music festival was the climax of the movie. The wonderful jazz still lingered around my ears after finished watching the movie.

Although its content was simple, director Shinobu Yaguchi brought us an interesting and pleasant film. It reminded me that life could be happy. The key is your attitude for life. The girls' show was contagious and impressive. Of cause the lively jazz was the most unforgettable.

An excellent Japanese movie. 8/10
