Discussing the Kimigayo non-standing issue.
Three days remain until graduation. At a private high school with a unique educational philosophy. During the final homeroom, Mr. Tada spoke quietly. "There are multiple historical evaluations of the Kimigayo. I will not be standing, but I want you all to decide for yourselves." Amidst the buzzing classroom, class representative Seiya Kaneda stood up. "Sir, you're the one sending us off. I think it's wrong for a teacher not to stand for the national anthem at graduation." Mr. Tada does not bend his convictions, and Kaneda refuses to yield. After school the next day, the two were called to the student council room. A homeroom teacher who insists on not standing. A class representative who argues that one should stand for the national anthem. And sitting between them, Guest, the Student Council President. With graduation just around the corner, the three-way negotiation begins.
