WHITE ALBUM is about love in many forms.
Toya Fuji is an ordinary college student but for one thing:
his connection to the popular singer Yuki Morikawa.
That popular singer, you see, is his girlfriend…
and the more popular she gets, the less time
the two can spend together.
Will they stay a couple, or will their ways part?
As winter falls and the air grows colder,
the two lay down new tracks in the album of their love…
This album will be as white as snow—and just as poignant.
PROLOGUE
Strains of a song drift on the cold winter wind,
and outside a music shop, my feet come to a stop.
The cathode-ray tubes of the TV screen pipe in a picture
and I stand here on the other side, silently watching.
On my way home from classes, amid the biting chill, she holds me rapt…
It’s been as ordinary as every other day of my life.
Ordinary, that is, in every way except one.
We’ve clung together just as always, even since her debut.
At least so far.
She leads her extraordinary life, and I live my mediocre one.
People meet, and break up, and get mixed up together,
but the days spin by all the same.
