These are shows about a band trying to go pro. These shows depicts the band-reality quite well; It's about the chemistry, perseverance and stubborness. Going pro in todays mainstream music community ain't easy after all. While focusing alot on the music these shows also focus on love and interraction amongst friends.

Both of these animes are about bands that have to work through hardships and problems with each other in order to reach where they want to be. These animes are very different but if you like Kaikan Phrase you should also like Beck.

Nana and Kaikan Phrase both deal with band relationships and the toll that being in a band and trying to become famous takes on the members.  Each go through the members personal lives in great detail and focus on the relationships they strive to have.

Both are jrock boy bands with lyrics for the soul.  Music bring people together and change the way they live forever.  Root for both bands to go pro as we follow their early days of member scouting, band formation, song production, underground gigs, image marketing to going pro.  Both dwell on the music industry and their endurance to make it mainstream.  Good watch for all jrockers!
