Kudo Kazuo (played by Masahiro Higashida) and Sakuma Kenji (played by Toshio Oto) have been good friends for many years. Kenji is a high school teacher, while Kazuo is an editor at a publishing house. It seems that He Xiong has problems both mentally and physically. After diagnosis by a psychiatrist, he was diagnosed with autonomic nervous system disorder. There is no specific drug for treating this condition. Only by persisting in exercise can the symptoms be alleviated. So, Kazuo and his wife Junko (played by Naoko) returned to their hometown Hakodate and began a daily life of running and rebuilding. However, soon He Xiong discovered that apart from being happy when he was running, everything in life made him feel disheartened, including his relationship with his wife. One day, while He Xiong was running, he met a boy named Akira Koizumi. Somehow, the two began to run together.[Collapse]
