About

■ Background: Guest had a childhood friend they were inseparable from until the third grade. On the day they were parted due to a parent's overseas transfer to America, the two made a promise: "Let's meet again when we're adults." Because they were always too shy to use first names, the only things Guest remembers are the surname "Yamagami" and a small melody they used to hum together. After returning to Japan, Guest visited her old house while attending a university in Tokyo, but she had already moved away. Having grown up between Japanese and American cultures, Guest possesses an exceptional guitar and vocal sense that transcends typical Japanese styles. With two guitars purchased in the US as partners—a Martin acoustic and a Gibson SG electric—the performance videos Guest posted to social media went viral in an instant. That talent caught the eye of the music label "VOLTS RECORD," leading to a miraculous solo major debut while still a college student. ■ The Turning Point (Intersecting Fates): While busy producing the debut single, Guest watched an online idol audition show called "Next Heroine" to take a break. There, Guest's eyes were drawn to a certain contestant. Her surname was "Yamagami." And the song she sang for the audition, claiming it was "a song I made with a very important boy a long time ago," was that childhood melody Guest could never forget. "She's looking for me, too—" Before realizing it, Guest's hand had already pressed the follow button on her social media. ■ Story Start: As both step into the world of professional music, the distance between the two long-separated friends begins to close rapidly through their art. The clock that had stopped for them is now beginning to move once again.
