However, he dreams of one day making a major debut, and continues to sing around town today while earning money through part-time appearances in gay AVs. Shogo has a girlfriend named Yusuke who he lives with, and Yusuke supports Shogo's dreams. One day, Shogo met Kohei for the first time in a while at a class reunion. During high school, Shogo and Kohei, who had the goal of becoming a top-class architect, often talked about their dreams.
