Silverstone is currently the number one Japanese rock band in the indie scene. Their current number one singles, Elephants, Slash Rocker and Flaming Root have reached the number one oricon charts. This soon catches the attention of other artists such as rapper JX who is currently on tour. The Blossom Girls, an anti-male sexism punk band; Death Eleven an American death metal band currently holds the record of 5 million copies sold from their debut album. AKM68 an all girl bubblegum pop band and last but not the least, The Emperor.
In the following the weeks that passed by, Silverstone prepared to finish the songs from their debut album. Black Chain Records and co-founder Setsumi Oonishi ties the knot in pressing the band members. Risa's bass ability has surpassed within six seconds; Homika's drumming impressed Setsumi thinking she's like a member of a tribe that never stops drumming. Gouta's keyboarding abilities brought more gothic orchestral sounds and Takara and Shifumi's guitar sounds rocked the house with their guitar solos and Shifumi's teeth guitar and last but not the least, Wakou's vocal ability; he made another mistake by thinknig he's falling in love with Shoko but another kick in the ass from Setsumi caused him to sing properly like Toho.
"Will you please cut that out Wakou, we're behind schedule already. The fans are waiting and you're singing ability sucks!." Setsumi said.
"But you told me to sing gently." Wakou said.
"Yes I said gently but, the gently I was referring to was you behaviour. It means you're suppose to sing wild like Toho." Setsumi said.
For the time being, Wakou put on the make-up and changed into Toho and said. "I'll show those scum artist who thinks they can destroy metal. I'll show them what metal music really means." Toho's demon vocal blasted the microphone and combined the sounds with pure energy. This impressed Setsumi more than ever.
"Well done Toho, Now the bomb is complete, let's rock this world." Setsumi said.
"Hey guys, it's raining outside." Homika looked at the window, and watched the rain along with the rest of the members.
"It's beautiful." Says Risa.
"Yeah, I could never imagine a rain so beautiful this time around. Gouta said.
"Bloomers." Shifumi said.
"CUT THAT SHIT OUT ALL OF YOU!" Setsumi barged into the members, leaving Toho the only one inside the recording room.
"Eh? Where are you guys going?" Toho asked.
"Going outside Toho, were' finished recording. It's only you that's left." Takara said.
"I can't believe those guys would leave me like this. But they're right. I have to finish recording the album." Toho said.
Toho finished the entire tracks within 60 seconds; Setsumi was shock to see him not taking any step down. She counted the time and seconds of Toho's vocal chords and she was impressed when he finished the last track.
"Hah! Nice Toho, you can go now. Tomorrow, this record will blow the fans minds. Yes, that's Mr. Emperor, come and see the taste of your own medicine when my bands kicks your ass." Setsumi said it out loud with a blast of wine and sake.
Meanwhile, the members of Silverstone shared their time at a sushi restaurant. While Wakou spent his free time with Shoko in a carnival. A concerned Shoko question Wakou about the pain on his left eye.
"What wrong with your eyes Wakou?" Shoko asked.
"Oh it's nothing, I haven't been getting enough sleep lately." Wakou said.
"Oh I see. It looks like you were wearing make-up." Shoko said.
"Nonsense, I don't wear make-up." Wakou started becoming nervous when the minute Shoko asked him about the small black paint on his left eye. When Wakou was removing his costume, he wiped his face fast and he forgot to remove the remaining black paint on his left eye. He quickly put out his face towel and wiped it while Shoko was looking at the Ferris Wheel.
"Hey Wakou, Let's take a ride on the Ferris Wheel." Shoko said.
"Oh, ok if you say so." Wakou said.
"Well come on then, we don't want the line to get full don't we." Shoko said.
Then, Wakou suddenly suffered a weird dream consisting him and Shoko in bed together; he thinks Shoko would remove her clothes and it would make Wakou more delighted. The problem, Wakou felt the presence of Shoko's kiss and emotions.
"Oh Wakou, you're so sweet." Shoko said.
"Oh, don't be." Wakou said.
Suddenly, a slap from the face, woke Wakou up. Wakou nearly lost his mind when Shoko was about to kiss him, but the he felt the kiss was real. Wakou felt like he was living in a dream world filled with beautiful women.
"It was a dream after all." Wakou said.
"What did you say?" Shoko asked.
"Oh nothing, I just said it's raining again tonight."
"Yes indeed it is." Shoko said.
"Shall I walk you home?" Wakou asked.
"Sure, it's almost getting dark too." Shoko said
The touching words of Wakou impressed her when he showed her his brand new phone and his lyric while they were still in the Ferris Wheel. Shoko also explained to Wakou that she got a chance to interview Toho of Silverstone, much to the shock of Wakou when he found out.
"Are you alright Wakou?" Shoko asked.
"Uhm yes, but don't you think it's too complicated? I mean that guy is actually a wild beast that can't be controlled." Wakou reluctantly tried to convince her not to interview his demonic ego; he fears she might identify him and she might hate forever. But Shoko insisted and Wakou said, "Yes."
After dropping off Shoko, Wakou rushed back to his dorm and called Takara to asked guidance regarding his interview with Shoko.
"Dude, what am I going to do?" Wakou asked.
"I don't know man, you figure it out, you're the lead singer and you should figure on what your going to say to her." Takara said.
"Yes I know but, I fear that she might find out." Wakou said.
"Take It easy man, I'll help you." Takara said.
"Thanks man, you're the only one I can count on."
The next morning, Wakou receives a message from a member of the blossom girls, the message came from a cd in the form of the bands' debut album. This soon makes Setsumi angry and accepts the challenge.
"Looks like we're going to war. If it's a fight they want, let them have it." Setsumi said.
"Yes manager, were with you on this." Takara said.
Wakou had to put aside his problematic breakdown for the interview and rehearsed with his band mates for the challenge. Is this going to be the end of Silverstone?
