Chance Pop Session
チャンス〜トライアングルセッション〜• Chance: Triangle Session
Synopsis
Three young girls, strangers to each other, share an instinctual passion and talent for music. Brought together from distinctly different worlds, the three meet by chance at the concert of their idol, the glamorous and sophisticated prodigy of an illustrious music school. The concert strikes a chord in each of their hearts and unites them with a common dream of stardom. Following their love of music, the girls each enroll in the school and are brought together again in a special class for exceptional talent. As their voices come together in harmony, the girls realize that they share more than just a passion for song. A mysterious blue stone, a hauntingly beautiful melody... what do these traces of the past have to do with the uncertain future of this gifted trio? Will the Angel of Music smile upon them and fulfill their dreams... Or will the challenges of music school tear them apart forever? (Source: ADV Films)
