Summary: Kevin, Howie, Brian, AJ, and Nick (better known as the Backstreet Boys) were about to perform what they thought was just a run-of-the-mill sold out concert to a screaming crowd. What they weren't prepared for was the mysterious powers of the gobosei. But what are these men supposed to do when the evils of the world are out to get them and their new powers?
A note from 2021: I don't intend to make promises that I won't keep, but there is a good chance that this will get a slight rehaul and eventually be completed. In the meantime, if you want to read things by me and like fantasy, may I suggest Pandora's Box and Pandora's Necklace?

Chapter One notes and translations by nicksgal
Here are my explanations!
~Gobosei: Pentagram (litterally Five Cross Star)
~The "This isn't a comic book"/"Of course it's a comic book" scene is a joke, since the original format of this story was a comic.-Thought I would explain that one. ^_^
~The "popinjay"/"photoplay" comments from Nick are jokes as well, because a common pun in Japanese comics (the style in which this was created) is for characters to get confused at certain words and repeat words that sound alike, but one small piece of pronunciation is changed or to write down a word that looks the same, but is pronounced differently than the original word. ("Popinjay" is a kind of jay bird, "Photoplay" is a filmed version of a play-think Romeo and Juliet starring Leonardo DiCaprio ^_^)
~Nick's skull is a reference to Hamlet (see explanation above)
~Mizu Bakurasu Ha: Hydro Backlash Wave (literally Water Backlash Wave)
~Kinzoku Ryuuse Bakufuu: Metallo Meteor Blast (literally Metal Meteor Blast)
~Chi Tatakikowasu Gekitotsu: Telluro Shatter Crash (littterally Earth Shatter Crash)
~Hi Shoumei Ka: Pyro Illumination Flash (literally Fire Illumination Flash)
~Ki Kakomu Tsukamaru: Dendro Encircle Grasp (litterally Wood/Tree Encircle Grasp)
~Gobosei no Gogyou: Pentagram of the elements (literally Five cross star of the five elements)
~Shuuekihikari: Photomancy (litterally divination by light)
~One last joke, if you think about the costumes and amulets thing, this story in its entirety pays homage to "The Backstreet Project", but I tweaked enough that you probably wouldn't know that unless you were reading this now. Let's just say that me and those toys spent many good hours together while I was originally designing the Boys' costumes. And yes, I do mean designing. Check out my Images page to see some. ^_^
