main cast
The J-Rock band CLIMB has split up, for good. The drummer and bass guitarist have become fed up with the way the band is managed, and leave. They decide to start up their own band; "Lucifer, The Fallen Angel". The problem is, they have a serious lack of available talent. Meanwhile, across town, an extraordinarily talented piano player and singer has shown up at a hotel, and is thrilling audiences with his amazing style and grace. He's a quiet, soft-spoken man, however, and is obviously harbouring dark secrets as well as suffering from depression. Lucifer needs a vocalist; this mysterious stranger needs a path in life. Will they find each other?

Passionate music band anime!
The passion of Rock music flows in their veins!
Songs from Nana are a must to listen at.

Songs from Nana are a must to listen at.
Both are anime about bands and relationships , Kaikan Phrase being a little more about the band as it struggles for success, while Nana delves much deeper into the relationships between the characters, with more drama, as well as clearly being a better production with a bigger budget.
Maybe the greates girls-oriented anime with fantastic soundtrack and unpredictable plot revolving around absolutely realistic story of progress in rock music business.

Just as I had thought, I really liked this unique anime! Throughout the whole anime you get a lot of character development, you see each of theirs ups and downs, questioning things, doubting, struggling to make it as a newly formed band, even their side worries, that affect their musical pursuit. Most of the things weren't really predictable and cliché like in your typical anime which I also appreciated. I really enjoyed the overall soundtrack as well, and also the plot didn't only happen on one specific location but more of them, which prevented it from getting stale. I resent only a couple of things about this anime, so that's why it's not a 'must' for me. Otherwise, if you enjoy bishounen, (rock) music, aiming to the top, and rivalry, then you might really like this as well!

I really like this series its one of my fav, but I was thinking about what I read somewhere that the anime is a prequel to the manga. I would like them to make a new version of Kaikan Phrase the prequel and whats in the manga, more mature and adult, romance etc. I don't know maybe im the only one that thinks this. Thanks for listening.

Unexpectedly good...
When i picked this up i even delayed a whole year to finnaly watch it, and i'm glad i did, after watching most of the "entretainment business" animes, i could say this can easily stand among the top ones. The big difference within them is that while others tend to focus on comedy and romance while progressing on their carreer as a matter of fact, Kaikan phrase focuses solely on their career and the challenges they have to overcome, being a more serious anime the comedy scenes are pretty much limited.

a realistic portrayal of the struggle to get into the music industry. really good soundtrack. it's more drama than action or romance. if you want to watch a group of people face obstacles and develop, then this is your anime. if you're looking for romance and even smut, i suggest going back to the manga (which is pretty cliche).

At first I thought it was pink shoujo story with 5 out-of-this-world handsome males flying around one ordinary girl. Even though it had it's 'impossible' moments, it's a must see! A very well prepared story about music industry and problems new bands would have in the sector. Besides, learning the fact about Jrock band Λucifer formed for this anime was nice. With the amazing soundtrack supporting it, you will sure enjoy.
