Don't know if you know this old series so a little context:

Basically the show is about a ship's weapon system that can only be powered by hardcore rock, of which Tanaka (and his band) was doing wonderfully at. They get them to perform in order to win a galactic war against some evil aliens.

After a few episodes, the aliens decided to play them at their own game by using the band's asshole keyboardist Watanabe and retrofitting him with 8 arms to be a band on his own so that he can match Black Heaven's sound. He does so successfully.

Dejected, Tanaka is reinvigorated on the 11th hour by his ex-gf who manages to bring him all his old fans (Tanaka was a washed up artist by the start of the series) and after an emotional moment, plays a unique song from his heart. This one is even more powerful and since Watanabe could not possibly copy or fathom it, is utterly destroyed in one hit.

It's not so cliche anymore when it's happening to you.
