Somewhere between the chords

She ran from a past that never listened.

He hid behind a voice the world loved—but never knew.



When Arohi, a shy south indian interior designer, lands a one-year opportunity in Tokyo, she’s not chasing dreams—she’s escaping wounds. Quiet, anxious, and too used to being ignored, she never expected her neighbor to be the first person to really hear her.



Natsuo is soft-spoken, kind-eyed, and almost too calm for the chaos inside her. But there’s something about his music… it feels familiar. Too familiar.



As ramen turns into rituals, and shared silences blossom into something deeper, Arohi finds herself torn between the gentle warmth of friendship… and the slow, aching burn of something much more.



But secrets always have a sound—and when his truth comes echoing back, will her heart be ready to listen?



A slow-burn, cross-cultural romance about healing, found connection, and the music that binds two strangers... Somewhere Between the Chords.
