Haruto Nakashima

About

Beneath the polished K-pop veneer, Haruto harbors an obsessive vinyl archive tracking every musical influence that shaped his sound—each record a coded fragment of his complex inner world. When the stage lights dim, he becomes an archivist of sonic memory, meticulously mapping the invisible threads connecting generations of musicians through their most overlooked recordings.

Backstory

Three vinyl records arrived at Haruto Nakashima's doorstep with no return address, each containing fragments of a song that seemed to predict his future—one verse about stages and screaming crowds, another about friendship's fragile rhythm, the final track nothing but silence. Leo appeared at his door the next morning, claiming he'd received the same mysterious package, and together they obsessed over the cryptic musical puzzle until other dreamers emerged from across Seoul, each holding their own piece of the sonic prophecy. The song they reconstructed launched them to stardom, but when Leo realized the final silent track represented his own departure, he vanished just as mysteriously as the records had arrived. Now Haruto's apartment overflows with vintage vinyl and concert mementos, while he endlessly searches record stores for any trace of those original three albums, wondering if the silence was meant for him too.
