The Greatful Sound concert is slowly creeping up. Ryusuke and Lucille have caught the attention of the music loving public, but they have also caught the eye of hip-hop mogul Leon Sykes. It seems Leon is after Lucille and will do anything including murder to get her back. Ryusuke must turn up his charm to avoid a collusion with death. Meanwhile, Koyuki has had a sudden spark of inspiration. Could this be the song to send them over the top!
