#Big in japan bar series

The rest of the gang arrive and do an emotional karaoke performance to 'Heart Monitor Riddem', whilst Taka embarrasses himself at the concert. Suddenly, Grindah enters and reaffirms his friendship with Beats, saying it is the 'best thing to happen' to him. What is left of Kurupt FM crew are sulking in a karaoke bar. When the Bang Boys' turn on stage arrives, Chabuddy and Miki convince Taka's managers that he knows the dance routine and promptly leave. When Chabuddy G arrives after tracking a Bang Boys van to the concert, Grindah has fled. His nervousness from not having his former crew around and him realising that he has led himself astray from his roots leads him to lock himself in the bathroom. The day of the concert arrives, and only Grindah is there to perform. Having spent several hundred pounds on drinks, Chabuddy flees from the hotel to avoid paying and is left homeless. A drunk Chabuddy buys rounds for Japanese salarymen, thinking he is spending Taka's money, until he discovers from Yuta the barman that Taka's tab has been closed. Meanwhile, Steves has become attracted to Miki but struggles to express his feelings for her. Grindah appears solo on the game show, feeling humiliated as he watches himself fail on the obstacle courses and later on with a disastrous recording session with a J-Pop artist. This results in a scuffle between Beats and Grindah, leaving the latter in tears and the rest of the crew abandoning him. Shortly before the show, Beats lambasts Grindah for not sticking to their garage roots and accuses him of selling out. The feud between Beats and Grindah comes to fruition when they are expected to appear on the game show with their new stage name 'Bang Boys'. Grindah refuses to acknowledge the situation, leaving Chabuddy defeated. During dinner with Miche and Taka, a jealous Chabuddy breaks in and berates Grindah for choosing Taka over him, offering Grindah an ultimatum between him or Taka. Later on, the crew go for a photoshoot in their outfits for the concert, and it becomes clear that Taka is publicising Grindah as more important than the rest of the members, prompting an argument within the crew. After being covertly manipulated by Taka, Grindah insists to the crew that the dances are necessary and are needed for their success in Japan. Instead of visiting a recording studio as they anticipated, the crew are led to a dance studio to perform a dance commonly featured on the game show, associated with their song, much to their chagrin. The Kurupt FM crew's first day in action proves disappointing. However, the exact terms and conditions regarding their deal are unknown, as Chabuddy deleted the email regarding the small print.

While in Tokyo, the company plans Kurupt FM's debut to the Japanese audience, with a concert featuring them planned within a week of them arriving and a record deal. With Steves eccentric behaviour and Miki acting as a weed dealer for him, the two become very close. The introduction of Taka proves antagonistic for Chabuddy, who notices Taka trying to replace him as their manager and further proved when he is ejected from a club. In Japan, the Kurupt FM crew are assigned a manager, Taka, and a translator Miki. Miche, Grindah's wife, later joins the crew after obtaining a ticket. With this in mind, the crew reconcile and travel to Japan.

Furthermore, the company responsible for the show wishes to invite them to Japan for a record deal. However, their dead-end lives are changed when Chabud 'Chabuddy G' Gul announces the news that their song, 'Heart Monitor Riddem', has found phenomenal success in Japan on a popular game show.
