Key the Metal Idol

Young, naive Key arrives in Tokyo, where she wanders the streets aimlessly until she's picked up by a shady photographer looking for models for adult videos. But a chance encounter with her childhood friend Sakura saves her ... for the moment.

Key meets Sakura's crew of friends.

Key, now fixated on making 30,000 friends, contemplates becoming a pop idol herself. But when she unknowingly disrupts Miho's concert, the company sends out two PPORs to hunt her down, remotely controlled by a man known only as 'D'.

As a crowd gathers below the building of a suspected jumper, Key is pulled into a treacherous position ... literally. That's when Key's grandfather's assistant, Tomoyo Wakagi, appears. Meanwhile at home, Shuichi starts hearing a strange singing from his computer speakers...

As Ajo and his cronies conspire, Sakura and Shuichi discuss Key ... and why she thinks she's a robot. Meanwhile, Prince Snake-Eye tries to convince Key that religion is the only path to making the 30,000 friends she needs.

Prince Snake-Eye convinces Key to visit his temple, where the child of two of his followers is near death, in hopes that she can cure the boy with her  "powers". But Ajo's lead soldier 'D' has finally tracked her down!
