Yuuya is one half of the boy pop duo ZINGS, and he might be the laziest performer in the entire Japanese music industry. His partner pours 110% into every show (and fortunately for the group, he's quite popular), but Yuuya's half-hearted, sloppy dancing and his frankly hostile attitude toward the audience have made fans despise him, while his agent looks for any excuse to drop him. The life of a pop idol turned out to be nothing like the easy path of laziness and adoration Yuuya had expected. After a particularly lifeless concert, Yuuya meets a girl backstage. She's dressed in a flashy, colorful outfit, full of energy and passion, and all she wants is to perform. There's just one catch: she's been dead for a year. This is the ghost of Asahi Mogami, a beloved singer whose time on stage was tragically cut short—unless, of course, spirit possession isn't too far-fetched if ghosts are real.
