If you're interested in kinda artsy anime and nice music that's it for you!
It's more of an appetizer than a real complete story and it makes you want to see more of it - but sadly there is no more.
I really enjoyed watching this.

main cast 5gs3e
* Based on the manga by Kamijou Atsushi
Two weeks before a concert at Yaon Hibiya auditorium (1987.8.26), while playing at the club Shinjuku Loft, lead vocalist To-Y (pron: to-o-i) of the band GASP is jumped by a rival, Aikawa Yoji. GASP is a band known for its violence, struggling to be noticed against the popularity of hotshot Aikawa, who's #1 on the charts and beloved by his fans. The Yaon Hibiya concert represents GASP's mainstream debut to break out of the small-time club scene, which is threatened by the schemes of Aikawa's manager, Ms. Kato of Koyama Productions. Kato wants To-Y to leave that "bunch of hoodlums," and sing independently for a major label.
Adding to the confusion is an unexplained character who manifests feline traits, named Niya. Niya presents herself as "To-Y's aijin" ("Niya, To-Y no aijin da yo!") to the consternation of Koishikawa Hiderou, who has interest in To-Y. Koishikawa, also known as "Sonoko-chan," is typed as a "okama" by Niya. A running motif is GASP, it's fans, and associates regarded as unusual by the mainstream public, as exemplified by their musical taste, dress, and Classic Coke-drinking, which only contributes to more difficulty in their struggle to be accepted.

An highly artistic short OVA representing the 80s Japan music industry. Well-defined characters, down to earth story and a video clip feeling all over the OVA. The only problem is that you feel there's much more to the characters and story, unfortunately, the short time can't help but graze this fascinating universe. Definitely a recommended watch.

Probably the best representation of the '80's japanese music scene in anime (Opposite to the not so great White Album). A real work of art visually and musically thankx to PSY-S.
