Yuuya, one half of the boy pop duo ZINGS, maybe the laziest performer in the Japanese music industry. His partner is out there giving 110% every night (and, he’s quite popular), but Yuuya’s half-assed, sloppy dancing, and his hostile attitude toward the audience, has the fans hating him and his agent looking for any excuse to cut him loose. The career of a pop idol isn’t the path of easy leisure and adulation Yuuya expected…

After a particularly lifeless concert appearance, Yuuya meets a girl backstage. She’s dressed to the nines in a colourful outfit, she’s full of vim and vigour, and all she wants from life is to perform. There’s one problem: She’s been dead for a year. This is the ghost of Asahi Mogami, the beloved singer whose time on the stage was cut short, unless… If ghosts are real, is spirit possession that much of a stretch?
