However, they realize that they don't have a clear vision for their future and are struggling to come up with a plan that will set them apart from other idol groups.

Haruka, the group's songwriter, suggests that they take a trip to a nearby island to clear their minds and get some inspiration. The boys agree and embark on a journey to the island, led by Ringo, an eccentric woman who runs a resort there.
