Shark (Shark!)

Please become SHARK's vocalist!

This is SHARK, the band that I met.

Whatever they may lose, they only want one thing.

It's to struggle so that they can keep moving forward.

Until the day they grab it...

I don't need hope.

Because I want to give hope to others instead of receiving from them.

I will touch people with my songs.

I will dedicate my life to giving hope to others.

So please, don't abandon me.

KEEP WALKING -

There are things we will never give up on

In order to make our dreams come true

Let's go, we are not alone

Target locked! Ready to fire!

Let's destroy all the rules

Let's go down the road we have chosen

The future is shining brightly

Our era is an adventure (we will surely)

Get to that place (for sure)

Our history starts here

So no matter what happens

We never give up

We'll change the tape!

Mizuki-kun?

What do you want, old man?

We would like you to do a solo photo shoot after that, is it ok?

I give you my special approval!

Hey! Can't you try to be more polite? He is a producer!

It's fine! That's how rockers are, right? I'll be counting on you then!

You're lucky that he is a nice person!

Don't you think it's unfair that they are only interested in Mizuki?

It's normal! The vocalist is the person who represents the band!

Also I'm a genius!

Let's start again!

Action!

Komatsu! - Yes?

Is the proposal ready?

It will be done soon!

You're looking at your watch every five seconds. Do you want to leave so badly?

It's not that!

They are doing the photo shoot right now so I'm wondering if everything is going well.

Photo shoot?

For Music Monster!

I already told you that SHARK will appear on the show!

Ah, yeah.

Do you know about this? Apparently, all bands that get to appear on Next Wave will succeed for sure...!

Until when are you going to talk about SHARK?

I already told you before, right? The audition was your last chance.

Give up on them.

But... - Understood!?

Yes.

Hello?

Ichika? The photo shoot ended well!

Teppei was stumbling over his words so much, it was horrible!

We were thinking about watching the show together in three days. Do you want to come?

I'm sorry, I have some work to do that day.

I see...Well, it can't be helped.

Oh right! We wanted to ask you something about the next live performance...

I'm sorry, I will be very busy over the next few days.

I see...

I'm really sorry. But I will definitely watch the show!

See you later then.

Is Ichika going to come?

She said she can't because of her work.

But I feel like she is hiding something. She sounded like when our debut was canceled.

What do you mean?

Maybe she was told to stop working with us, something like that.

It's true that we failed the audition...

Isn't there any way to get another chance?

Should we all go there and ask?

It's not a big deal, is it?

There are many other record companies!

Why are you so attached to her and to Wonder Record?

Ichika is the person who discovered us.

We've always fought together. She is like a member now.

So you consider her like a mom who has guided SHARK and has made you grow?

It's just the same as chicks that need to be fed!

You don't have to be nice to her just because of that!

You're so mean to her!

Don't you care about Ichika?

Not at all.

But I think it's better for you not to stay with her.

She will end up betraying you because of her work.

Right, you don't know about it yet...

About what happened between Ichika and us.

This song has been created by our studio musicians. It will be your debut song.

So it means we have to sell our soul for fame?

What!?

Why are you still with her then!?

We did think a lot about it.

But Ichika-san hasn't done anything wrong.

She is the one who is suffering the most because she feels responsible for Kazuki's death.

Anyway, she believes in our music.

Do you really have to be that nice!?

We are linked to Ichika already. I don't want you to say anything about that.

Ichika-san! Do you know the band called Castaways?

I don't...

They have just been created and the vocalist is really awesome!

They will perform tonight, wanna come with me?

Sorry, I have things to do.

You're single but you never want to hang out!

on the air!!

Is it starting already? - Not yet!

It's starting! - Crap!

Music monster!

Who is it going to be...?

Tonight's guest on Next Wave, the corner that introduces the next generation of bands: SHARK!

Next wave!

Good evening, Music Monster viewers!

We are SHARK!

Tonight's Next Wave will focus on the tragic rock band SHARK.

A year ago, SHARK was getting more and more fans thanks to the charisma of their vocalist Kitagawa Kazuki.

But then...

Just before their debut, their charismatic vocalist suddenly died in a traffic accident

Kazuki was the center of SHARK so... - That's also what I think! It was such a shock!

SHARK's popularity suddenly dropped.

A new vocalist then miraculously appeared in front of them.

His name is Kurata Mizuki. But he was also hiding a tragic past...

He debuted as a singer when he was a child and became very popular.

But at age of 10, his popularity suddenly dropped.

10 year old Kurata Mizuki

After that, he tried to become an actor but it didn't work.

So he disappeared from the entertainment world.

That boy whose heart was wounded then met SHARK. And now, they are trying again together.

It's only the start of their battle to regain their past glory!

Mizuki!

Such bullshit!

Mizuki-kun...

I was on my way to meet you. Did you all leave already?

I saw you on TV. I was so surprised! I didn't know...

You knew about it already, right?

You knew about me.

So you also found me because of my past? It's true that you can create an interesting story based on that.

Wait, you are misunderstanding me!

I heard you singing and I was moved for real!

I don't care if you were famous before!

I was attracted by the person you are today!

I heard that you betrayed SHARK in the past.

No way I can believe someone like you!

Stop thinking about that TV show!

I'm not!

You're totally thinking about it!

I'm sure it's him!

The former child actor!?

Hey, you ugly!

What did you just say!? - Mizuki!

They are all the same...

Why don't you get energy from the persons who are in front of you instead of thinking about others?
