A Lavish Invitation
The Tigers, a rock band, escape their parents and teachers trying to forcibly cut their long hair, but accidentally stow away on a train to Tokyo. In Tokyo they get in some trouble, but eventually get jobs as musical assistants. Can they make the stage debut they've always dreamed of, or will their dreams be cut short?
