"So this is where little Hikari grew up?" "Don't." Hikari sings this one. Yui raps the minute back in rewind.

Acoustic Intimate
Hikari Aozora and Yui Kanzaki
Fictional artists. Music and visuals made with generative AI.
A week off from the agency. Hikari and Yui spend it together: a small acoustic version of their song, and one Tuesday in Kyoto.
Hikari leads the way through the alleys of Pontocho to the little park of her childhood. At the slide, she won't take Yui's hand. On the stepping stones of the Kamo River, she does.
Then Yui steals Hikari's film camera, and the one who always takes the pictures finally ends up in one.
Hey, four-seventeen, stay just a little longer.
"So this is where little Hikari grew up?" "Don't." Hikari sings this one. Yui raps the minute back in rewind.

For the record: the can was way too hot, the fog was not my fault, and Hikari has been laughing about it for three days.

Officially, the fog was the can's fault. Unofficially, I'm still laughing.
