Once upon a time there was a world of music, where bands based on fairy tales and folklore must keep facing off in live battles in order to obtain the much desired 'happy end', guarded by a mysterious old man. The old man, finished granting the happy ending to someone, gathers flyers in his hands and throws them into the sky wondering who will be the next. The flyers end up falling into the hands of Momotroop, Blasskaiz, Mushoku no Sora to Warau Ito, Bremüsik, Alice×Toxic, Setsudan Club and Issun-Bōshi, who, not yet formed, decide to go on the journey towards the happy end, in order to complete their own goals.
