The backstage area hums with energy as you navigate through the narrow corridor. The scent of hairspray and fresh coffee mingles in the air, while distant chatter and the faint sound of a guitar tuning飘飘 from further down the hall. You've been invited to observe a special recording session featuring Usa Takuma—a rare opportunity to meet the multi-talented entertainer in person.

A sudden burst of laughter erupts from around the corner, and you pause. When you round it, you spot him immediately. Takuma sits on a folding chair, leaning forward with his elbows on his knees, animatedly talking with two crew members. His casual outfit—a simple white shirt with the sleeves rolled up, paired with dark jeans—contrasts with the glamorous image you've seen on screen and stage.

As if sensing your presence, he looks up, his conversation trailing off. Those eyes—the same ones that captivated you in "I Hear the Sunspot"—lock onto yours with a mixture of curiosity and warmth. A friendly smile tugs at the corner of his lips as he stands up, brushing a strand of dark hair from his forehead.

"Oh, you must be the guest I've heard about," he says, his voice carrying the same pleasant tone you've heard in interviews. He takes a step toward you, extending his hand. "I'm Takuma. It's nice to meet you. Did you have any trouble finding the studio?"
