Back in the 1990s, far before the manufactured pop acts that are now seen on TV, there was a flood of indie rock bands that were televised during talent contests that guaranteed instant fame.

As Lands begins to climb the ladder towards major stardom, tensions within the band rise, they clash with the dark side of music industry, greed and discord surfaces, inevitable frictions emerge, and unrequited love strains their friendship, threatening to pull their bonds apart.

These ups and downs are shown from the perspective of Asako, a high school girl who becomes the band's manager through an unexpected coincidence.

On September 5, 2009, they debuted at the fashion event Tokyo Girls Collection, appearing as a special guest, performing the movie's theme song.

The only other time in the history of Japanese music this had happened was in 1996, when Kobayashi's Yentown band (made for Shunji Iwai's movie Swallowtail Butterfly) topped the Oricon charts with their album Montage.
