Utakata no Uroko

Tetsuta is a promising singer-songwriter standing on the precipice of his major debut when a sudden throat surgery strips him of the one thing that defined him: his voice. Unable to sing and deeply disillusioned, he declines a close friend's earnest request to compose a new song. Seeking an escape from his overwhelming frustration, Tetsuta wanders to the ocean, where he crosses paths with Nagi, a mysterious young man who runs a seaside restaurant alongside his father. Nagi warmly invites the despondent musician into their establishment, offering a patient ear as Tetsuta unburdens himself of his struggles. What begins as a chance encounter at the water's edge ends with Tetsuta spending the night at the restaurant. In the quiet hours, he unexpectedly hears Nagi singing. The sound strikes Tetsuta like a physical force, sending an electrifying shock through his entire body and awakening something dormant within him. Moved by the sheer power of the young man's voice, Tetsuta experiences a profound shift in perspective. For the first time in his life, the once-solitary artist feels an undeniable desire to entrust his own compositions to someone else, hoping to hear his music brought to life through Nagi's extraordinary gift.
