Girls Band Cry

In March, at the age of 17, Nina drops out of high school and moves to Tokyo on her own. Shes completely lost in the big city. She was encouraged to come here after hearing a certain song she found online. The day she arrives, Nina meets the street musician who plays that song.

As always, Ninas having a hard time focusing on her studies, but she finds herself having to go to Subarus school to deliver Subarus phone. After having a heart to heart, they start opening up to each other. Soon after, the trio set out to put on their first live show as a band.

A live house that Momoka used to play at asked the girls if they wanted to play a show, and they agree to have their first battle of the bands. As they struggle to meet the ticket sale quota, Momoka gets tickets to a show for her former band.

Tomo and Rupa join Nina, Subaru, and Momoka, making a five-member band. Momoka informs the rest of an upcoming show they could play, but the five members have such different personalities that it doesnt look like theyd ever come together. Nina and Momoka have different feelings about the band, and they begin the show while their relationship remains strained.

Tomo is scared to say how she feels due to traumatizing past experiences and is unable to truthfully express herself to the other band members. Nina is currently learning the guitar and asks Tomo for her assessment, and Tomo gives her harsh feedback. However, when Tomo sees that Nina isnt giving up, it gives her the confidence to change.

Nina and the others arrive at an outdoor music festival. Its a huge venue, and the large stage gets them pumped. Diamond Dust takes the stage and theyve gotten better since their last show. Nina and the band absolutely cannot lose. Theyre going to leave their mark. Its the start of their performance of a lifetime.

In the battle of the bands against Diamond Dust, Ninas bands ticket sales have not even reached half of their sales projection. Meanwhile, Diamond Dust sold out their tickets. The harsh reality comes crashing down. Even then, Nina and the band stay true themselves and begin to play their song.
