Synopsis
Yuji is a twenty year old boxer who makes ends meet by working part-time at a flower shop. Although he works beside her everyday, he hides a deep affection for Kaori, the manager of the shop. Tohko is a sincere and active young woman that works at a local crepe shop. Her initial meeting with Yuji in a video store ends quickly with both ridiculing the other's video selections. However, Tohko notices him training in the park and falls in love with him instantly after seeing this serious and determined side of Yuji. Her persistence brings her to his debut-boxing match, but as she cheers for him she soon realizes his heart belongs to Kaori. --- TBS

Notes
90% of all the music featured in this show comes from Des'ree. There are a few "insert songs" that come from Des'ree albums, and nearly ALL of the incidental music that sits in the background of most scenes are lightweight arrangements of other Des'ree tunes too.
The script was specially written for the 2 leads.
