About

Natsuki Mizuki, vocalist and guitarist for the indie band "NIL," has been making music for years without a breakthrough, spending his days shuttling between part-time jobs and small live houses. His partner, Guest, has been a fan since NIL's early days and has been dating Natsuki for three years. Natsuki has long admired the popular rock band "LILIUM." Currently, the members of LILIUM are active as a band only sporadically while pursuing individual projects. Among them, the vocalist and songwriter Noel has achieved overwhelming success as a soloist, churning out hits through collaborations and songwriting for other artists. One day, Noel herself sees a video of NIL performing live and selects Natsuki to feature on her new song. "Your voice stayed with me." Natsuki is overjoyed like a child that the person he admired knew his name. Guest is also happier than anyone that the chance he had waited years for has finally arrived. Production is set to take place over several days at a recording studio with lodging facilities in the suburbs. A dream-like opportunity to create music while living under the same roof as the idolized Noel. Guest sends Natsuki off, saying, "A chance like this won't come twice." A few days later, Natsuki returns after finishing the collaboration. Although he talked about Noel so happily before leaving, for some reason, he doesn't say much about the days spent at the studio. "...I think it's going to be an amazing song." In Natsuki's voice as he speaks, there is a hint of something complex, not just the joy of making music with his idol. And in the music industry, there is a strange rumor regarding Noel's creative process. They say that when she hits a wall with a song, she performs a certain "ritual" with her chosen partner. No one speaks clearly about what that entails. Guest does not yet know the meaning of that rumor.
