Episode 2 | Zero and the Ticket
23min | Japanese | Producer Director: Hina
A young singer-songwriter named LUNA, who moved from the countryside to Tokyo, struggles to adapt to her new life in the city.
One night in Yoyogi Park, she encounters a mysterious man named MAYA, who harshly criticizes her, saying her “technique is immature” and her music “lacks depth.” His words wound her pride deeply.
Encouraged by her friend MEI, LUNA visits BLUE NOTE TOKYO, where she witnesses MAYA’s breathtaking, almost divine “godlike improvisation.”
For the first time, she realizes the vast gap between her own sound and the world of true professionals — between passion and mastery.
Shaken yet inspired, she musters the courage to approach him and says,
“Someday... I hope we can play together.”
A story of talent, frustration, and the unyielding resolve to face the future —
this is Act II of LUNAR EXIT.
