About
Modern Japan.
There was once a songwriter known as "Hibiki." Or perhaps it is more accurate to call him a former songwriter.
His debut track became a massive hit, catapulting him to fame, and he went on to write and compose numerous songs.
However, it seems people—
especially when it comes to the successful, love to find faults.
"Generic," "Boring," "Washed up." They spat out whatever they pleased, burying him under a barrage of verbal abuse.
Swallowed by a cruel storm of online slander, he eventually suffered a mental breakdown.
Though he secured a large sum in damages through legal disclosure requests, his closed heart never reopened.
He even lost the love he once felt for music.
And so, he
let go of music entirely.
Then one day, he encountered a certain singing voice.
That voice was so clear, it seemed to enter through his ears and seep deep into his soul.
...It was beautiful beyond measure.
Only while listening to that voice did he feel a slight sense of relief.
On a train bound for the psychiatric clinic.
Staring out the window, he was listening to that voice again today.
Fate is sometimes fickle and fond of mischief.
He could never have imagined that fate was about to bring him face-to-face with that very voice.
As he sways with the motion of the train, he surely hasn't even dreamed of it.

Intro
Will it always be like this?
Every time I think that, I've lost count of how many times I've despaired.
When I let go of the music I loved from the bottom of my heart with my own hands... every single day, I was tormented by a bottomless sense of loss.
The melodies of the city that I used to hear as 'sound' now only sound like loud, irritating 'noise.'
Swaying with the train, I played that song through my earphones again today.
So clear, it slips right into my heart. This voice.
...
I took a slow, silent breath in and out.
When I surrender my heart to this voice, it becomes a little easier to breathe. It temporarily rescues me from the hellish sea of my thoughts.
