Asako and Miharu are two Tokyo high school students. When Miharu gives Asako her favorite indie rock band; a LANDS CD, she becomes an overnight fan and sets her heart on the talented guitarist Yukiya.
When they go to see them in concert, they sneak their way into the backstage area and Asako gets acquainted with some of the band's members. Natsu, the vocalist, is immediately attracted to Asako and begins bringing her along to the band's practice sessions. Though Asako enjoys it, she proves to be a distraction to the other band members and is soon ejected from the session by Yukari, their manager. But Natsu is determined to keep her around, pulling strings to make Yukari and Asako to become friends, and eventually, helping Asako to become LANDS co-manager.
LANDS was formed among friends, but as the band begins to climb the ladder towards major stardom, they get in touch with the dark side of the music industry, discord surfaces, inevitable frictions emerge, and unrequited love strains their friendship, threatening to pull their bonds apart.", "image": "https://i.hndrama.com/image/drama/P90YGc.jpg", "genre": [ "Romance", "Music" ], "contentRating": "PG-13", "datePublished": "Jan 16, 2010", "dateModified": "2022-07-15", "startDate": "Jan 16, 2010", "endDate": "", "actor": [ { "@type": "Person", "name": "Kaneko Nobuaki", "alternateName": "金子ノブアキ", "birthDate": "June 5, 1981", "nationality": "Japanese", "description": "Kaneko Nobuaki is a Japanese actor and drummer of the rock band RIZE, from Shimokitazawa, Setagaya, Tokyo.

Akanishi used to be a member of the popular J-pop group KAT-TUN until July of 2010 and was one of the two lead vocalists. Since the group's debut in 2006, it has achieved 14 consecutive number ones (including studio albums) on the Oricon charts.
He also debuted as the vocalist of the rock band LANDS, along with Takeshi Kobayashi for the movie Bandage. He has, in the name of a band in the film BANDAGE, ranked in #1 in the Oricon ranking with the album OLYMPOS (released January 13). This is LANDS' 2nd consecutive #1 after the first single released in November last year. The only other time in history that an album that was released in the name of a movie character was #1 was in October of 1996 when the band YENTOWN in the Shunji Iwai's directed film Swallowtail Butterfly released the album called MONTAGE.
Akanishi will star in the Hollywood film "47 Ronin", which also stars Keanu Reeves in the lead role. Akanishi will play the role of Chikara Oishi, a friend to Kai who is played by Reeves. The film's director, Carl Erik Rinsch, was apparently impressed by Akanishi's English abilities and motivation. In this case, Akanishi Jin would be the second Johnny's Entertainment artist within the agency after Ninomiya Kazunari in "Letters From Iwo Jima" to star in a Hollywood movie and the third overall to work with an American director. Tegoshi Yuya from NEWS was the second in Memoirs of a Teenage Amnesiac, but that movie is considered to be a Japanese production directed by Hans Canosa.
