Nana and Ren were in the same group once, but Ren left his group to debut in Tokyo with other members. Nana was shocked about it, and she resented that Ren didn't choose her as a vocalist. But she turned her resentment into energy to go straight for her debut.

Another Nana is called Hachi from everyone. Hachi is so cute and cheerful. Nana and Hachi met in a train by chance, and somehow they started to live together. Hachi likes Nana very much and also she likes Nana's group very much. Their characters are different, but they respect each other. Hachi hopes Nana's group, Blast is going to be famous. One day, Hachi met Takumi. Takumi was a member of Ren's band, Trapnest. Hachi was his fan, and Ren helped Hachi to meet each other. And at last, they were getting well, and they married.
