The film is an intimate and raw portrait of Yoshio Hayakawa, former leader of the legendary group Jacks, filmed between July and November 1969, in the months following the group’s dissolution. As he prepares to temporarily step away from the spotlight of the music scene to open a second-hand record store, director Masato Hara captures his world, his thoughts, and his reflections on music and creation. The film also looks back at his solo career, which began with the release of his album かっこいいことはなんてかっこ悪いんだろう.
