D4DJ

Back in Japan after time abroad, Rinku Aimoto returns to the city where her dream of DJing first took shape. She enrolls at Yoba Academy, where mixing and performances are all the rage, and attends a concert that crystallizes her resolve. She splits her attention between school and practice, and soon forms a crew with DJ Maho Akashi, VJ Muni Ohnaruto, and keyboardist Rei Togetsu. Their plan is simple and bold: work up a set that can compete on the big stages. On the way, they run into seasoned groups like Peaky P-key and Photon Maiden, trading tips, styles, and friendly challenges. Through jokes, tempo shifts, and late night rehearsals they chase a shared spotlight.
