Music

I have a long-standing habit of making soundtracks for my novels. The titles below are designed to minimize spoilers, but still, proceed at your own risk. You can also find a playlist of some of these songs on Spotify, though unfortunately the Satō Naoki albums I drew from aren’t among his works available there.
