Synopsis
Rock-idol doppelgängers, psychedelic tours, ticking band scandals, and rooftop Tokyo dreams collide in musical mystery.
1) Kaine After a devastating accident lands him in the hospital, Shinogu wakes up to discover he’s been thrust into the spotlight: his record label wants him to stand in for his famous twin brother, the flamboyant vocalist of the chart-topping rock band Endorphines. With only his voice and a new look to rely on, Shinogu must convince the world he’s the real star—while keeping his true identity hidden. As he navigates sold-out stages, obsessive fans, and the band’s inner circle, strange events begin to ripple through the fandom. Together with a skeptical bandmate, Shinogu starts to peel back layers of secrets surrounding the group’s latest release, questioning how far the music industry will go to keep its idols—and its profits—alive. 2) Magical Mystery Tour A psychedelic road-trip short that follows a group of musicians on a whirlwind tour where every venue hides a riddle, every fan carries a cryptic message, and the line between performance and reality dissolves under neon lights. 3) Tokei Jikake no Orenji Bakudan (The Orange Time Bomb) Orange, the hottest name in J-rock, is on the brink of implosion. Behind the glittering concerts and platinum records, guitarist Takumi never removes his sunglasses, drummer Kai won’t explain the rumors of a solo career, and a mysterious girl appears claiming she’s destined to marry Takumi. As countdown clocks appear on social media and backstage tensions rise, the band has only days to decide whether their music—or their friendships—will survive the ticking scandal. 4) Tokyo Top A slice-of-life vignette spinning through the capital’s rooftops, where street artists, aspiring idols, and night-shift workers trade dreams and mix tapes, all chasing the same elusive Tokyo sunset.
