One day, Kai ventures to Merfolk Island, also known as Ningyojima, and there he meets Lu, also known as R. Lu is a ningyo girl. The rhythm of the music triggers the transformation of her fish fin into a pair of human legs. The pair quickly become friends, and Kai offers to show Lu about the city during their time together. Kai finds out that Lu must avoid coming into contact with sunlight at all costs or she will ignite into flames. He also discovered that Lu has a father and that a ship had taken the life of her mother.
Lu is first introduced to Yuho and Kuino by Kai.

Yho’s grandfather decides to revive an ancient amusement park with a merfolk-themed theme on an island close to the town after being inspired by her rising popularity. The band starts to lose Kai’s interest, and he starts to ignore Lu as a result. The opening of the park is performed by SEIRN, but Yho leaves in a huff after Lu interrupts their performance and takes the spotlight.
