Aired on November 14, 1999
26
Ʌucifer gains popularity, prompting Ralph to eliminate them. Metro Records acquires five bands from rival labels and attempts to sign Ʌucifer, who decline. These new signings must release singles on the same date as Ʌucifer's third single. Believing this is retaliation for their refusal, Ʌucifer plans to counter by releasing five singles simultaneously. To execute this strategy, Sakuya and Aine spend a week in a hotel adjacent to Metro Records to compose the new tracks.
