Yuya, a member of the boy pop duo ZINGS, is widely considered to be the laziest performer in the Japanese music industry. While his partner puts in an incredible effort, giving 110% every night and gaining immense popularity, Yuya's half-assed dancing, sloppy attitude, and hostile behavior towards the audience have led to widespread hatred among fans and his agent seeking an excuse to terminate his contract.

After a particularly lifeless concert appearance, Yuya encounters a girl backstage. Dressed to the nines in a vibrant outfit, she exudes vim and vigor, with a burning passion for performing. However, there's a catch: she's been dead for a year. This mysterious girl is none other than Asahi Mogami, a beloved singer whose tragic death cut short her time on the stage.
