The wall of ice has started to shatter, movements are being made in the entertainment industry, and a miraculous stage is almost here. Akihiko Suzuki must live with the fact that he is no longer just a school idol producer, he must now take to the s...
It's getting pretty late... Morfonica left a while ago, so I'm wondering if Poppin'Party is running late...
A band needs to be punctual, so maybe there's something they're lacking tonight that usually keeps them on time?
That or they're just running late with traffic or something.
*Sigh*
Afterglow's raw energy.
Pastel*Palettes' polished charm.
Hello Happy World's chaotic joy.
Roselia's intense perfectionism.
RAISE A SUILEN's explosive power.
And Morfonica's elegant symphony.
Each one is unique and yet there's one band that people can't seem to crack... One with an irreplaceable spark that can't be matched, or defined.
Something about them is special... I've tried researching them to find it out but I can't put my finger on it.

MARINA: "Hello, Akihiko! Poppin'Party are waiting for you."
AKI: "Oh, I've been waiting for them here."
MARINA: "Sorry, it's been such a busy day that I forgot to mention that they have a performance tonight and it's still early before the doors open. If you take the stairs and go through the double doors you'll find the venue."
AKI: "Right, thank you Marina. I'll be right there."
Well, that explains it.

*LIVE VENUE - CiRCLE - SHINJUKU - TOKYO*
The stage in the basement is lit with spotlights flickering across, Poppin'Party stand on the stage above the modest crowd area.
Out steps Kasumi Toyama, leading the pack. She's a bundle of enthusiasm, her red star-shaped guitar slung over her shoulder.
Behind her, the rest of Poppin'Party follows.
Their keyboard player Arisa Ichigaya looked mildly exasperated.
Rimi Ushigome shyly clutches her bass, her pink cheeks matching her outfit's accents.
Tae Hanazono spacing out a bit, guitar in hand, her long hair swaying as she glances around curiously.
And Saaya Yamabuki bringing up the rear, setting up her drum kit.
With determination to find out more about this band and what makes them special, I approached the stage. They spotted me and their leader started waving wildly.
