Plot


Four 13-year old children, the lead character Hikaru( Keita Ninomiya), Takemura (Mondo Okumura) Ishi (Satoshi Mizuno) and Ikuko (Sena Nakajima) meet outside a crematorium. Coming from challenging backgrounds, and often having unfortunate relationships with their family, they all dislike their recently deceased parents, all killed in unfortunate circumstances ( automobile accident, double suicide, a wok-related fire and murder by the hands of a pedophilic piano teacher). They are all being cremated.[2][3]

Not trusting adults, they bond over their shared attribute of not sharing emotion. At the same age, they decided to run away and form their own pop music band, which they call "The Little Zombies". People like their addictive music, and they go about meeting various people that will shape their future”. The children move through the story, dealing with their grief.[4]
