Story
On August 3, 2006, about five years after the Sick Beats Doctor announced his new method for bacterial research in "Microbe Today", he and his students continued working day and night to catalog their newest data. While looking at a vial received from the mysterious Rhythm League, they discovered the microbes, mysterious creatures who moved in sync with each other[1]. The team were sure they represented an important discovery, so they continued studying them, and documenting their findings in a journal.
On Day X, the scientist writing the journal notes that the microbes seem to have lost their initial vigor, moving sluggishly and bumping into each other. They are worried that they will have to abandon their research.
On Day Y, the microbes still seem sad and listless, and the team fails to improve their condition. They decide to put on some music to raise team morale.
On Day Z, the scientist is astounded to find the microbes have returned to their happy and bright state in response to the music. He names the process of the microbes feeding on music "Rhythmesis". The scientist concludes they still have much to learn about these strange creatures, but that they have already gained from their research. He now walks with a spring in his step as a result[2].
Later on, the scientists notice the microbes' behavior has changed, and that they are somehow more jaunty. They continue to observe them closely.
In Citrus Remix, it is shown these microbes may be found in orange juice.
