He has no hobbies, weak taste in music, and only a small vestige of a personality. He yearns for an exciting life as a musician, but his shy and somewhat neurotic personality makes him his own worst enemy by hampering his musical dreams. Little does he know that his life will be forever changed when he meets Ryuusuke Minami, a wild and unpredictable 16-year old fresh from America who happens to be in a rock-and-roll band named after his Frankenstein-like patched dog, Beck.
