4	The story is set in the Bakumatsu era, at the end of the shoguns' rule over Japan in the middle of the 19th century. The Tokugawa shogunate uses the brainwashing Heaven's Songs by the top idols in Shinsengumi to subjugate the country and its people. In this Japan, writing or singing any songs besides the Heaven's Songs is a capital offense. [[TheHero Sakamoto Ryouma]] and the other rockers rise up and change the world with [[PowerOfRock rock 'n' roll]] for freedom and justice. Received an anime adaptation by Creator/StudioDEEN in Summer 2014.

7	!!Tropes:
8	* AnachronismStew: The first few seconds of the anime place the story in the Bakumatsu era. The next few show a very modern-looking concert.
9	* AutobotsRockOut: So far this is how ''every'' episode has ended.
10	* IdiotHero: Ryouma definitely doesn't come off as very smart
11	* MacGuffin: Peace Souls.
12	* TheNicknamer: Ryouma is fond of giving everyone in the main cast this, to the chagrin (and amusement) of some of them.
13	** Shinsaku: [[{{Tsundere}} Cindy]]
14	** Kogoro: Sensei
15	** Toshizo: Hijizo-san
16	** Souji: Sochin, who calls Ryouma 'Tosaka-kun' in return.
17	** Shoin-sensei: Shaggy-haired Sensei
18	** [[spoiler:Yoshinobu]]: Discerning Boy
19	* PowerOfRock: The base of this entire anime.
20	* PublicBathhouseScene: Majority of episode 4.
21	* RedOniBlueOni: Ryouma's Red to Shinsaku's Blue, Shinsaku's Red to Kogorou's Blue.
22	* ShonenHair: Ryouma's red hair and also the hair of his two friends really set them apart from the background characters, it probably signifies their PASSION.
23	* ShoutOut: The protagonist is a [[Manga/RurouniKenshin red-haired man with a cross-shaped scar on his left cheek]].
24	* UnskilledButStrong: Ryouma is described as having the PASSION, but he lacks any form of technique.
