Synopsis
A vampire.
A person with a high level of intelligence and beauty who has eternal life.
Living in the darkness, they loved music, sang songs, and produced many things.
Humans have been enthusiastic about their music without knowing that many of those artists are not human beings.
The style called “visual-kei” was one of them.
To the present day.
Vampires have gathered in Harajuku, Tokyo, Japan.
“Go under the “Red Moon” that shows where the annual vampire banquet “Visual Prison” will be held.”
Under the Red Moon, the vampires’ abilities increase, and they develop a boundary called Prison to create a stage and attract audiences with their performances.
And every year, on the day of the feast in October, the person who dedicated the “most beautiful song” to the “red moon” is blessed with great power.
