--Then came the present day. Vampires gathered in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan.

Vampires gather to make their wishes come true, to show their music, or for the sake of their loved ones.
Vampires gather in Harajuku to make their wishes come true, to show their music, or to love their loved ones, and now, a miraculous song will resound...
