Little does he know that his life will be forever changed when he meets rocker Ryusuke Minami, an unpredictable sixteen-year-old with a cool dog named Beck. Ryusuke has just returned to Japan from America, and when he inspires Yukio to get into music, the two begin a journey through the world of rock 'n' roll dreams! Lace up your Docs and head to the mosh pit-Harold Sakuishi's manga series that spawned the hit anime is back!
As the Greatful Sound concert is slowly creeping up, Ryusuke and Lucille have not only caught the attention of the music-loving public—they are also on the radar of hip-hop mogul Leon Sykes, the man who fell to earth in the helicopter. It seems Leon is after Lucille and will do anything to pick up his guitar and play, just like yesterday. Ryusuke must turn up his charm big time ... or watch as his guitar gently weeps! Meanwhile, Koyuki has had a sudden spark of inspiration. Could this be the song to send them over the top? Or will they be stuck as absolute beginners forever?
