Story
The five-member band Shark wants to change the world with their music and dreams of making its major debut. The band’s appeal has been discovered Komatsu Ichika of Wonder Records and they are on the verge of debuting with the record company. However, Shark loses its charismatic vocalist Kitagawa Kazuki in a freak motorbike accident. One year after Kazuki’s death, the remaining members Hagiwara Kai, Adachi Teppei, Ryuzaki Ayumu, Satomi Kenzo have continued with live performances, but the fans have for the most part drifted away. Kai, who has replaced Kazuki as the vocalist, lacks the appeal to be the band’s frontman and Shark is told by Yoshimura Takahiro, Ichika’s boss at Wonder Records, that their contract is terminated. Ichika hopes for the continued existence of the band. She thinks that if Shark can find vocalist to be the new frontman, it will clear the way for another major debut. And so, she scrambles to look for a new vocalist. At this moment, she hears a young man sing at the wedding ceremony of Okawa Miku, a junior at work. He is the former vocalist of Blackdog, Kurata Mizuki. Ichika is mesmerised by Mizuki’s unpolished yet heartfelt voice and suggests that he join Shark. However, the cocky Mizuki curtly refuses. He has no intention to join an obscure indie band. While Ichika is convinced of Mizuki’s talent, Kai clings to performing as a four-member band. Kenzo shows reservations about their future. Meanwhile, Mizuki has been scouted by Honda Productions. He visits a triumphant Mashima Yuto who proposes that he debut in a unit with a popular model.
