Synopsis:

Naru Ayase possesses a unique sensory gift: she perceives music as vibrant colors. Driven by a lifelong ambition to own a decorative shop, Naru is drawn to the opportunity presented by a new establishment specializing in Prism Dance. During an audition, her performance triggers an unusual phenomenon, revealing her ability to perceive "rainbow music" to a mysterious girl named Rinne.

The series unfolds within a world where musical expression manifests visually and physically through Prism Dance, a performance art demanding both artistry and emotional resonance. Naru's journey explores the connection between personal perception, artistic potential, and the enigmatic power of shared experience. It examines themes of self-discovery and belonging as Naru navigates this unconventional world, grappling with newfound abilities and forging unexpected relationships within the competitive environment of Prism Dance.
