Taiyou no Uta

Sixteen-year-old Kaoru Amane lives with xeroderma pigmentosum, a rare genetic disorder that makes even the briefest exposure to sunlight potentially fatal. Confined to her home throughout the day, she spends her hours indoors watching a young man from afar, quietly longing for the chance to speak with him. When night falls and the danger of the sun fades, Kaoru ventures into the city streets to sing and play her guitar outside the local train station. With the help of her cousin, Kaoru eventually learns that the boy she has been admiring is named Kouji Fujishiro. Their paths finally cross during one of her nocturnal outings, and this long-awaited encounter solidifies the deep affection she has harbored for him from a distance. What begins as a quiet infatuation quickly blossoms into genuine love as the two grow closer under the cover of darkness. However, Kaoru’s fragile existence casts a heavy shadow over their budding romance. Her strict inability to experience the daytime world alongside Kouji introduces profound complications to their relationship. As her feelings deepen, the harsh realities of her condition threaten to bring inevitable heartache, forcing both of them to navigate the delicate balance between love and an unforgiving illness.
