Background / History

Bai Qiu is a transmigrator from the Celestial Dynasty who arrives at the co-ed Sakuragaoka Shuka University.

On his first day, he meets classmates including Yui Hirasawa and Takamatsu Tomo. Rather than joining the Light Music Club, he chooses Kessoku Band to pursue a more challenging, professional musical path; he later buys an electronic keyboard in Shimokitazawa 4.
