This action-filled musical about adolescence is set in the year 1940 during the Showa Era, when steadfast politician Takao Saito from Izushi Town lived. It tells the story of a modern-day high-school student who travels through time and discovers jazz music. Produced by Yomiuri TV, the performance premieres as a staged reading.

Burdened by the pressures of studying, high-school student Masaki listens to the jazz standard Bugle Call Rag, and is suddenly overcome with drowsiness. When he awakens, he finds himself in a jazz cafe in the year 1940, 84 years before his time. He meets Aiko, who is the same age as him, before holding a jazz concert for her father, Takao Saito. Before he knows it, he becomes swept up in the vortex of history.

This work is written and directed by Yomiuri TV’s Koichi Okamoto, with Eiji Minoda, also from Yomiuri TV serving as producer, and Oriza Hirata as co-director.
The principal roles are played by Yasunari Fujibayashi, who is currently appearing in Kamen Rider Gotchard (TV Asahi), and Sae Sakimoto who appeared in Super Invincible Class (Nippon Television). Yomiuri TV newscaster Kyozo Tatsuta plays the role of the cafe owner, while Tomomi Maruyama, who appeared in Laughing Matryoshka (TBS), takes on the role of Takao Saito. Ayumi Unno provides the live saxophone performances within the play.
