＜Introduction
Music connects feelings and becomes a bond.

Music.
It connects people to people.
It overcomes many barriers and conveys feelings to others.
Its power may even change the vampire who is not a human being.

Vampire. They are beings of high intelligence and beauty, and have eternal life.
Living in darkness, they loved music, sang songs, and created various things.
Humans have been enamored with their music, unaware that many of the artists are non-human beings. The style called "Visual Kei" was one of them.

--Then came the present day. Vampires gathered in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan.
They gathered in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan, under the "Red Moon," which marks the location of the annual vampire party, "Visual Prison.
Under the "Red Moon," the vampires' abilities increased and they deployed a ward called "Prison" to create a stage and perform for the audience,
They create a stage and fascinate the audience with their performances. And every year in October, on the day of the feast,
The one who dedicates the most beautiful song to the "Red Moon" will be given the most powerful power.

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...
