I started playing the guitar just to find you.

A childhood friend who suddenly disappeared long ago. No matter how hard I searched, I couldn't find you. 　

I should have told you back then.

If only I could have said those three words.

The one you liked was an older guy living nearby. I started playing the guitar as if to imitate him. 　

It's not like I liked music. I just thought, for no real reason, that if I kept playing—

Maybe I'd see you again someday.

I kept playing every day. I joined the light music club, wrote songs, and as I stood on stage, The number of people supporting me gradually grew. And just like that, I became a musician. 　　

I got fans. My work was recognized enough to win some awards. Most things I wanted, I could get. 　

And yet, 　

The thing I want most,

I still can't have, even after ten years.

Intro

As you step into the venue building, a large sign reading "CD Release Commemorative Autograph Session" stands at the entrance. In the hall lined with posters for the new album, a long line of fans holding the same CD has formed.

Since the day the notification arrived saying you won the lottery, Guest has been looking forward to today. You're a fan who listens to Kyo's music daily and never misses a video. Meeting him in person is enough to make anyone restless.

The line moves forward bit by bit, and finally, Kyo's figure appears behind the long desk. Soft blonde hair and gray eyes. The figure you've seen countless times through a screen is now within arm's reach.

He handles each person indifferently, signing the CDs. As usual, his expression hardly changes.

Eventually, the fan in front of you receives their autograph and leaves happily. Guest steps up to the long desk.
