Introduction
There is a realm which lives in constant fear of an evil dragon that lives on its outskirts. The dragon is not only evil, but also pretty much all-powerful, so you don't want to cross it...ever. In general, though, the dragon leaves the kingdom in peace, with one small exception. He demands that a young girl be brought to his cave, for him to keep as his prisoner. That girl is forced to sing and dance for him, until she starves to death or collapses from exhaustion. A new "Dragon Dancer" is selected whenever one dies. This is pretty much the only thing the dragon demands of the kingdom, so in general, the country's people are more than happy to get the heck out of his way when he's choosing his next victim, or even openly help him, if it means that he'll refrain from wreaking any other kind of havoc on their realm. This is the story of Rin, the current Dragon Dancer, and her twin brother Len's quest to save her from the dragon's evil clutches.
Part 1- Kimiwo Sagasu Sora (Searching the Skies for You)
The video opens, and we see Miku, dressed as some sort of masked priestess. She guards the dragon's cave, so that no one may interfere with this plan to protect the kingdom. She has a flashback about her friend, played by Teto, who was the last Dragon Dancer before Rin.
The picture fades to show a young blond woman, happy with her twin son and daughter. Some soldiers come to the door with a Royal Decree, and take the baby girl away, so that she will grow up to dance for the dragon.
Present time. Rin stands in the cave, holding her treble clef necklace. She hears the dragon, and it drops to the floor. We see Len picking it up, and looking up to the sky. He begins his quest to find Rin.
The video ends with a montage of the people he'll meet on his journey, including Meiko, Gakupo, Luka and Kaito (with Neru and Haku in the background)

Part 2- Hikari to Kage Rakuen (Paradise of Light and Shadow)
The video opens with Rin, singing and dancing for the dragon. It then shows us some other girls who were imprisoned by the dragon, and it focuses on Teto, the most recent Dragon Dancer. Then we see Gakupo, being humiliated by Luka (who plays an evil sort of noble). Luka is in charge of making sure no one interferes with the dragon's plans. Gakupo is a fellow noble, who has been helping her, but he disagrees with what she is doing. She has him arrested.
Len comes, and attacks Luka for letting the dragon enslave his sister. Meiko, hired by Luka for protection, defends her, and fights with Len. The reason that Meiko agreed to help Luka is because Luka has told her that as long as the cycle of the dragon's kidnappings is allowed to continue, there is still a chance to bring back the girls who have been lost to him in the past. But if Len succeeds in rescuing Rin, the cycle will be broken, and all hope of saving those past girls will be lost. This is important to Meiko because Meiko's younger sister, as we find out, was once taken by the dragon. She is the girl played by Teto that we saw earlier. But, during the fight, Meiko realizes that Len is just like her, in that he only wants to rescue his sibling, and Meiko would have done exactly the same thing if she had the chance. Meiko turns her sword to Luka, realizing that she lied to her, and Ruko intervenes. Ruko is another one of Luka's hired minions.
We go to Gakupo, locked in his room with a guard at the door, while he thinks about his past. He is freed, then, by a smiling Kaito (who plays some sort of wandering mercenary), and the two join up with Len and Meiko, and fight their way out of the castle. Then there's a "travelling" sequence, where Len's party (sure looks like a fantasy RPG, doesn't it?) wanders the realm, searching for the dragon's cave. Gumi makes a cameo, and if this WAS a video game, it looks like she would be an NPC (non-playable character).
Luka mobilizes her troops, sending them after our heroes. Seeing that the royal soldiers are trying to arrest the quartet, the villagers turn against Len and company. Len sees a small boy protecting his little sister from them.
Finally Len, Meiko, Kaito and Gakupo arrive at the dragon's cave. However, first, they must get past Miku, who is not about to just wave them on through. She summons some shadow-beasts, and easily defeats everyone in Len's party (and guess what? YOU HAVE NO PHEONIX DOWNS) Len especially gets pwned, *insert Miku's creepy laugh here* and we get some backstory on Miku. A flashback shows a group of robed men putting a sinister-looking mask on a screaming and crying Miku. While Len is unconscious, a beautiful singing duet takes place in his mind with Rin and himself. Len wakes up, and takes Miku by surprise. He breaks her mask, seemingly breaking the spell that had been controlling her. He runs past her, into a bright light, where the silhouette of Rin is waiting…
