Sayane was a struggling, down-on-her-luck J-Pop idol who was crushed on stage. After dying, she wakes up in a dangerous realm where music was once the source of magic but is now long forgotten.

A tyrannical empire wiped all music from history and silenced the realm so that no one could ever oppose them. Small bands of resistance fighters and revolutionaries hide in underground districts and taverns. That is where Sayane is reborn.

In this brutal, beautiful world, her love of music and people will propel her into conflict where she finds creative freedom, fans, and maybe even purpose.

(The Story Has Only Just Begun. Pt II Is Here. If you wish to read Pt I as a standalone piece, as it was in the Isekai contest, you can stop there and still have an amazing story. But the full vision is a trilogy, with Pt II currently underway.)
