Now, they are both working, sharing chores, and enjoying their married life. But tranquillity here is short-lived: Their attempts to legally marry have hit legal roadblocks.

As students of dentistry at the local university, Hide (Masaki Suda), Navi (Ryusei Yokohama), Kuni (Ryo Narita), and Soh (Yosuke Sugino) were probably the least likely group of guys to come to mind, when anyone mentioned music. Just another group of average university students, living their average university lives, these four friends spent their days much the same as anyone else their age. Or did they?

While the world saw Hide, Navi, Kuni, and Soh as nothing more than a group of dental school students, the reality of their lives was quite different.
