Inspired by house music from a young age, Yukiya spends his free time as a DJ for a crowd of one and uploads his videos online. Like any young teenager, he yearns for something greater than his current life. He wants recognition and importance, but breaking out of his comfort zone means he runs the risk of getting hurt, so the cycle continues. That is, until the day he crosses the line of no return and stumbles across a mysterious live broadcast that will change his world forever.
The series stars Katsumi Fukuhara ( Hugitto! Precure, In Another World With My Smartphone ) as Yukiya, Toshiki Masuda ( Gakuen Basara: Samurai High School, Haikyu!! ) as Midori, Jun Fukuyama (Ajin, Anonymous Noise ) as Reijiro, Daisuke Namikawa ( Medaka Box Abnormal, Ushio & Tora ) as Fumiyuki, Atsumi Tanezaki ( Hozuki’s Coolheadedness, Land of the Lustrous ) as Hana, Takuya Eguchi ( Love Stage!!, My Love Story!! ) as Gai and Yoko Hikasa ( K-ON!, No Game, No Life ) as Yukine. The record label GOON TRAX is in charge of the series’ music, which will also feature the talents of numerous musical artists.
The series will soon be available to stream on select digital outlets for the Winter 2019 Simulcast Season with a home video release to follow.
