Episode 1: "Stairway to Heaven"
Somewhere in the depths of space two mighty space fleets clash. Meanwhile, back on Earth Oji Tanaka, once the
lead guitarist for the hot heavy metal band Black Heaven has hit the wall. Oji cashed out of the rock biz and is now trapped
in a life he considers a lie - that of a dull salaryman with a young family. But even as Oji tries to cling to his past, his
ruthlessly practical wife Yoshiko, once the founder of his fan club, is throwing out his prized rock mementos to make room
for their growing family. On the day he hits rock bottom, she trashes his last and most cherished Flying V guitar. His life
changes forever when he meets the lovely Layla Yuki, a new employee in his office. Professing to be an old fan, she ushers a
drunken Oji to a private stage secreted in the back of an empty model home and up a glowing stairway where she reunites him
with his lost Flying V. Oji is overjoyed, and plays for her. But Layla isn't what she seems.
Episode 2: "All Night Long"
Oji wakes up the next morning wondering if his time with Layla was a dream, but she soon appears to assure him it wasn't,
asking for his help to save her people. Oji assumes she's joking about inter-stellar battles, but he can't wait to play his
guitar again, so he plays along with her story. They step through an office door and onto a large stage, where he plays the
night away.
Oji's recent all-night disappearances have got Yoshiko steamed, but to make it up to her, Oji offers to take her to tour
the new model homes in a nearby development. While there, though, Layla appears to tell him his playing is desperately needed,
and leaves her three ditzy lackeys Kotoko, Eriko and Rinko to keep Yoshiko distracted. Oji really cranks his guitar this
time. But while he beams, thinking he's playing in a trendy nightclub, his music is actually powering a super-powerful weapon
that destroys an enemy fleet.
Episode 3: "Hot House"
Layla's commander and ex-lover Fomalhaut is determined to reproduce Oji's killer sound without depending on the artist
himself. He dispatches her to more closely observe Oji, and, as a backup, also sends Kotoko, Eriko and Rinko to make more
remote observations. Meanwhile, the other housewives living in the Tanakas' apartment building buzz with rumors that Oji has
taken a lover, and while Yoshiko doesn't believe it, she is none-too-pleased when beautiful Layla shows up on their doorstep,
on the young couple's anniversary no less, and proceeds to spend the entire day mooning over Oji's career. Matters don't
improve when Kotoko, Eriko and Rinko decide to create a love nest for Layla and Oji when Yoshiko steps out to shop.
Episode 4: "Space Child"
Oji agrees to watch Gen, the couple's son, while Yoshiko heads to a high school reunion. While strolling with the little
tike in the park, Oji realizes that he knows virtually nothing about his son aside from the boy's total obsession over the
TV show "UFO Ranger Flying 5" (which curiously stars a woman who looks just like Layla and seems to feature adventures which
parallel Oji's own).
While watching Gen play, Oji gets a cell call from Layla who, with her fleet under attack, insists that he perform
immediately. Oji drops everything, leaving his son in the park. As Oji revs up his sound, Gen sneaks aboard the mothership and
immediately becomes a target for the ship's deadly defense systems.
