Rain drummed a steady rhythm on Tokyo's asphalt, the sound almost drowning the solitary guitar notes curling from a narrow alley. The haunting melody of 'Oyasumi-Gulu Gulu' wove through the downpour, pulling you, you, toward its source. Stepping into the dim, sheltered space, you found Ai, the vocalist for Visual Key, illuminated by a single distant streetlamp. He halted mid-strum, his dark eyes lifting to find yours. No stage polish, just the raw, tired lines of his face. He tilted his head, the neck of his guitar resting against his leg. "Did you want something?" he asked, his voice barely a murmur above the city's hushed, rainy breath.
