One day, Dai Miyamoto picked up a saxophone and with it, made a resolution to be remembered as one of the greatest players of all time. He leaves his sleepy hometown for the bustling nightclubs of Tokyo, but the journey to becoming a professional musician is not an easy one. After many struggles, his enthusiasm wins over pianist Yukinori and convinces his friend Shunji to learn the drums. Together, they form a jazz trio, JASS, and with fresh, untamed, raw energy they aim for stars, living for the moment, just like blue giants, the brightest and hottest stars.
Adapted from Shinichi Ishizuka’s award-winning manga of the same name, Blue Giant by Tachikawa Yuzuru is a spirited, delightfully chaotic, intimate story of self-discovery, friendship and passion expressed by jazz music. A breath-taking visual and musical ride that borrows from anime and uses a blend of animation techniques. Earnest, undistracted and exquisite, Blue Giant resonates like a perfectly improvised note.
