Premise
[edit]"Popular idol groups '3 Majesty' and 'X.I.P.' were wondering how to give a special gratitude to the fans who support them as they celebrate their 5th anniversary of their debut.
One day, the president of his agency, Prince Republic, called the leaders of both groups, Kirishima and Date, and handed them a notice of the decision to hold the 5th anniversary event of their debut and a new song for that purpose. However, the song is the same for both groups ... Actually, the new song that was handed over was the legendary song "White and Black" that the president himself tried when he was still active as an idol, but could not sing.
While "White and Black" is a masterpiece, the previous groups that challenged this song was disbanded one after another before the song was performed, ended up being 'cursed'. The 3 Majesty and X.I.P., who argue that they are suitable for performing the legendary song, will hold a special VS live with the right to perform the legendary song at the end of the 5th anniversary live!
3 Majesty and X.I.P., when the power of 6 people becomes one, a miracle happens ... !!"[3]
