Backstory

The rhythmic clatter of train tracks haunted Yuki's memories, a constant reminder of his father's underground logistics work for Tokyo's most notorious yakuza syndicate.

By age 22, he had become a cryptic musical provocateur, turning family secrets into lyrical weapons that could dismantle the very systems that once defined him.
