The boy and his crush go to the same school. She is one year above him, and in a band which is popular in Japan. She had won several competitions, and was approached by a famous music producer. The boy has always wanted to learn the guitar, but never tried. When he finally worked up the courage, he found out his crush works part-time at the local music shop. He didn't have enough money to buy one, but she let him try one out. He kept going back to the shop over the next six months until he finally saved up enough to buy a guitar, and subsequently started a band, practiced a lot, and wrote a song for her. | The boy and his crush go to the same school.

The boy however couldn't bring himself to play it for her and opted to invite her to their first live show. He got her a ticket and asked to meet with her after school and waited on a bench. During this, a weasel appeared and asked him to kick away any balls which flew their way, as it would ruin his date later. When the time came, the girls arrived, and the boy tried to work up the courage to give her the ticket. Each time he tried, a ball would appear, ruining the moment. He found the weasels making a ruckus to be annoying as well. He would reflexively kick the balls away, calming him down as a result. This made the weasels calm down, too<ref>[[Reading Material (Rhythm Heaven Fever)#My Feelings|My Feelings]], ''[[Rhythm Heaven Fever]]''</ref>. | The boy however couldn't bring himself to play it for her and opted to invite her to their first live show.

The boy can be seen studying for an exam at the library while the [[School Library Pep Squad]] support him in the epilogue to [[Cheer Readers]]. The Weasel Couple, accompanied by [[Barista]], can be seen watching the music video for [[Love Rap]] at the end of that game. Here they are shown to own a [[Quicknibble]] in a small fish tank, and two pictures of the [[RAPMEN]] on the wall. While a more saturated version of their home appears at the end of [[Love Rap 2]], [[Marshal, Cam, and Miss Ribbon]] are watching it instead. The human couple appears in ''[[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic]]'' [[Rhythm Tengoku The Best Plus Comic#04 アニキとカメレオン その1 (Aniki and Chameleon Part 1)|04 アニキとカメレオン その1]] (Aniki and Chameleon Part 1), where they encounter Aniki, who yells at them to stop staring at him, scaring them off. | The boy can be seen studying for an exam at the library while the [[School Library Pep Squad]] support him in the epilogue to [[Cheer Readers]].
