This video helps to increase the popularity of the group, and soon they earn on concerts in Japan . The group is forced to take a three-month break, to sort out their differences, opinions and in the future. At a concert dedicated to the reunion of the group, someone sets a fire, and musicians are put in Alcatraz prison. Lou arrived, inviting the group to play a game for prisoners in prison in exchange for early release, which they agree to. However, after their execution, the group ends up in Hell near Lu, and they are forced to play directly in Hell in order to return to the mortal world.
