VazzRock the Animation

"This was around the time I made my debut. For a while back then, I didnt have anything to smile about at all." The twelve members of VAZZY and ROCK DOWN gather to talk on a special TV program being made in anticipation of Decembers VAZZROCK Live Flawless concert. Part way through, the topic shifts to Takaaki, Ouka, and Yumas roles in the upcoming TV drama Shuten. The new show is a spin-off of Sokai, an earlier feature film about the life of Shoin Yoshida. On set, the three are reunited with two of their former costars; talented actors Yusho Toi and Yuzuru Mikaduki. While Ouka grumbles about working with the difficult Toi again, Takaaki keeps smiling and tries to lighten the mood.

"Of course not. Youll never get the better of your big brother." "Rise & Set," the new show co-starring the Kiduku brothers, has started streaming. With each episode, Futaba receives more praise on social media. Issa starts to feel pressure on set to keep up with Futaba, whose acting skills seem to improve by the day. One evening, Issa receives a text from his old bandmate Takenaka, who invites Issa out for drinks to talk about the show. Later, four members of Tsukino Productions who are all younger brothers—Rui Minaduki, Nozomu Nanase, Naosuke, and Ayumu—join together to form The Ototo Rangers and try to teach Issa to see things from a kid brothers perspective.

Ruka and Gaku play the dual lead roles in a play where they stand side by side and could easily be mistaken for rivals. Ruka actually wants to compete with Gaku for who is the best at playing his role, but Gaku doesnt even recognize Ruka as his rival, which sends Ruka into a deep slump.
