Galileo Figaro (Tony Vincent)
Galileo is arrested by Khashoggi for singing, and is taken to the hospital, where he meets Scaramouche. He tells her that he hears song lyrics in normal life and in his dreams.

Britney Spears (Nigel Clauzel)
Britney Spears is one of the Bohemians, a group of rebels who strive to rediscover the lost music and rebel against Globalsoft. With Meat, whilst looking for materials to make instruments from, he discovers Galileo. He realises that Galileo must be The Dreamer as he knows many lost lyrics, and takes him to the Heartbreak Hotel, which ultimately leads to Galileo rediscovering the lost instruments and ending the Globalsoft domination.

Meat Loaf (Kerry Ellis)
Meat Loaf is Britney's partner and a fellow member of the Bohemians. Although sceptical that Galileo may be The Dreamer, she travels with Britney to take him to the Heartbreak Hotel to meet the other Bohemians.
