Yomichi lives an ordinary student life, but sometimes at night, when the sun goes down, he gets lost in another world.
The desert on the moon, the coffee shop in the tunnel, the floating island in the sky, and other mysterious worlds are all here.
There she makes friends and has a comfortable time.

This is the story of her finding her way in the world.

Muto
He started his career in January 2018. Since then, he has posted cover videos and singing and playing videos on YouTube and social media, and has become a buzz hit on TikTok.
A new generation artist who not only engages in solo activities but also appears as a featured singer in songs by Suda Keina and MAISONdes.
With her unique voice that is beautiful and powerful, yet somehow ephemeral and seemingly fleeting, she has garnered a lot of support from Generation Z.
The name comes from the fact that it is colorless and transparent.
She is a new generation artist who is currently garnering attention, having participated as a featured artist in the theme song for the Nippon Television Z drama “Numaru. Minato-ku Joshikousei” (“Ibitsuna Kokoro feat. Muto” by Suda Keina), and in “Toraenohime feat. Muto, Sohbana” (1.4 million plays) on the fictional apartment “MAISONdes,” which produces “the music most used on social media.”
