Synopsis:
The series follows Yukiya, a solitary teenager finding solace in DJing and sharing his music online. Content with his isolated existence, he harbors a quiet desire for validation beyond the digital realm. His carefully constructed routine is disrupted when he impulsively streams a live performance, triggering unforeseen consequences. The narrative explores themes of self-discovery and the potential rewards – and risks – of pursuing ambition. Set against a backdrop of online subculture and personal longing, the anime examines how seeking recognition can unravel established boundaries. It’s a character-driven story focusing on a young person navigating vulnerability and the transformative power of shared experience in the digital age.
