His life takes a dramatic turn when he discovers an old, mysterious guitar hidden in his attic, which once belonged to his father. This guitar, named "Dream Gold," is said to possess a unique power that can amplify the emotions of its player and resonate with the hearts of listeners.

As Haruto begins to play the guitar, he experiences vivid dreams and visions that seem to guide him toward his destiny.
