Given, vol. 02

Sometimes a song can save your life. Love of music unites the four members of the band Given: hotheaded guitarist Uenoyama, playboy drummer Akihiko, gentle bassist Haruki, and Mafuyu, a singer gifted with great talent and burdened by past tragedy. Their struggles and conflicts may drive them apart, but their bond to the music-and to one another-always brings them back together again. As the band races toward their first live concert, Mafuyu struggles to write lyrics for their new song but can`t find the words to express the emotions burning within him. Meanwhile, Uenoyama hears rumors about Mafuyu`s past and is bewildered by his own feelings. The tension builds until the night of the show, when the band explodes into a raging, life-changing performance.
