Given, vol. 08

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. Hiragi`s band--with Uenoyama`s help--is ready to make their big debut. And Mafuyu, who`s been wishy-washy about becoming the singer for Given, is now equally as indecisive about his own singing. Uenoyama invites Mafuyu to the debut concert, but he doesn`t accept the invitation, leaving Uenoyama even more confused by his boyfriend`s recent behavior.
