His story begins in high school when he received a saxophone from his brother and develops into a deeper passion with career prospects after a move to Tokyo puts him in contact with budding jazz pianist Yukinori Sawabe, who alongside Miyamoto’s childhood friend Shunji Tamada as a beginner drummer come together to form the youthful trio, “Jass.” When Blue Giant debuted on the pages of Big Comic in 2013, critics showered the series with awards for its story on Sendai-born Dai Miyamoto’s journey to become a jazz musician. It’s about their music and their story shining on the stage as they perform together, where the story should be best told by combining powerful, expressive animation with sonic personalization that comes together to define these characters more than any dialogue they could share together.Ĭapturing this feeling is both Blue Giant’s biggest strength and greatest weakness.

Diffused through many subgenres and styles as it found new life in cultures around the world from origins pioneered in the New Orleans African-American communities of the early 1900s, the style is defined by smooth, complex chord and melodic expressions and improvisation.
Jazz as a medium is defined by its encapsulation of human expression in musical form.
