Kyoumei Sentai Beatranger

Kyoumei Sentai Beatranger (共鳴戦隊ビートレンジャー Kyōmei Sentai Bītorenjā) translated as Resonance Squadron Beatranger, is a Super Sentai series based on a genre of music known as Eurobeat. Development was started in 2016.

Plot

In remote areas of Japan, strange music had been heard at odd times. Strange incidents involving the residents of said areas have been reported in conjunction with the strange music. Not long after these reports, the same thing began happening in more populated areas. While the music itself wasn't seen as a problem, the growing number of incidents was. Once a connection was found between the music and the incidents, a task force was formed to control the incidents and keep people safe from the effects of the music.

During a mission, a medic from the task force stumbled upon the source of the music - a strange device guarded by what looked like a person made of crystal. She, as well as the communication technician guiding her were able to get some data on the device, though it was nearly at the cost of the medic's life. Some time after the mission, the medic, Kanae, and the technician, Kai, were recruited alongside three others to become part of a super-powered group to challenge the beings creating the harmful music. That group was to be known as Kyoumei Sentai Beatranger.
