About Gravitation: Lyrics of Love

Looking for background on Gravitation: Lyrics of Love (グラビテーション OVA)? This comedy, music and romance series by Plum and Animate Film (1999) starts out like this. The premise: Bad Luck's lead singer and lyricist, Shuichi Shindo, is a total wreck. With deadlines for the band's next album looming, the pressure is on, but the normally energetic Shuichi has become listless and fallen into a writing slump.

Further in, it's all because Yuki - the great love of his life - has suddenly become cold and distant. Depressed and anxious, Shuichi doesn't want to think about lyrics - he just longs to know how to get Yuki to talk to him! Now, thanks to Shuichi's big mouth bragging to the press about how talented he is, the band can't even hire someone else to write the lyrics for them.

As a comedy title, timing, character chemistry and running gags decide whether it lands. Shuuichi Shindou (Tomokazu Seki) and Eiri Uesugi (Kazuhiko Inoue) are two of the characters you will meet early. If you count yourself among viewers who want something light between heavier series, put it on your list. At 2 episodes in total, it is easy to plan a viewing schedule.
