One day, his classmates Kunio and Yuho invite him to join their band, "SEIRÈN". As he reluctantly follows them to Mermaid Island, their practice spot which the rest of the townsfolk avoid, they meet Lu, a mermaid girl. Lu is attracted to their music and soon develops a close bond with Kai. As Kai begins to spend time with her, he starts to be able to say what it is that he's really thinking. Though of course, nothing is ever that simple. Especially when you live in a town that considers mermaids a curse.
