High school girl Natsuko lives in a country town, and every night in bed worries about the events of the day and leaves voice memos on her mobile phone about people that she cares about. Natsuko goes through each day without being able to find her own dreams or goals, and one day, after skipping an important exam, she goes to Tokyo with classmate Masaya to see a one-night-only performance by a favorite band.

Living a lie.
Aya is 15 years old. This is the year where she should be in her first year of high school. But she has had a history of sometimes going to school and sometimes not going to school, lives in a home that is full to the ceiling with garbage, has no father, and can't remember when she last ate. Her mother never does anything, and her younger brother, Uncle Koji, comes around to play. This is the story of Aya and friends, in the season where outside, the cicadas have stopped making noise. Bang!

In a sunny broadcasting room at a school somewhere, "A" (played by Tsubasa Honda) starts speaking the words of a certain high school girl Hikaru Horie. Caught up in the words "I have no friends", "A" follows the high school life of Hikaru Horie. As the daily lives of other students gradually intersect, the feelings of being bullied during one's youth that can never be repeated become clear.
