They gave their first concert in a ceremonial hall of the college. The singer of the small group changes colleges and pushes Toshi, then guitarist, to take the post. Then the group dissolves after the end of the college years, members going to different high schools. Toshi and Yoshiki, who find themselves alone in their new high school, then go up to X. After high school, Yoshiki takes classes at the conservatory, but leaves him in January 1984 to try his luck in Tokyo. Toshi decides to follow him and adapt his studies accordingly.
