Chapter 2: I'm a Rock'n'Roller

Souta wanted to join the band competition at the local live house and invited Akihiro and Shouki to form a band. Akihiro agreed, wanting to achieve greater fame. Souta named their band Super Rock'n'Rollers, much to Akihiro's dismay. In their first practice, Akihiro played on his own and ignored the others.

In Summer, Akihiro tried to hit on Yuko but she shot him down immediately. Akihiro never had a girl who could resist his charm and he broke down. During their first live performance, Akihiro played on his own again and Souta became infuriated and they fought. Yui then confronted them backstage and reprimanded them.

Souta suggested undergoing a training camp and he agreed. Souta accused Akihiro of not being able to follow a rhythm but Akihiro insisted that he could but chose not to. Akihiro then played following Shouki's rhythm and the band played very well. Akihiro was shocked that he could produce a great song as a band. They then started composing their original song mostly under Akihiro's guidance. Later, Akihiro revealed that he had been scouted for a modeling job.
