nowisee - A Combination of Music, Animation, Novel and Comics

nowisee
A stunning combination of music, animation, novel and comics

Now I see - I finally noticed -
Happiness is like a silent noise you can't notice unless you try to.
- nowisee -

nowisee (pronounced “noise”), is a cross-content creation between music, animation, novel and comics. On August 8th, 2015, 08:08:08, music video titled “Vibration” was released online. With the mind-blowing music and stunning visuals the video spread over the internet, gaining 100,000 views in only a week.

The video left the internet wondering what exactly was “nowisee”? Behind the unit name “nowisee” stands 6 professional musicians who have been involved in so many creations that they have sold over 15,000,000 CD's all together. But even so, they will never expose their true identities.

The story the unit is telling aims to make the young people of today question the meaning of life. The project is at the moment said to consist of 24 videos, new one to be released on the 8th of every month. A written novel of the story is being published on “nowisee” Official Smartphone Application with new chapter on 28th every month, and a manga of the same story is being published on comico with a new update on every day of a month with the number “8” in it.

If you enjoy things pretty to listen, pretty to watch, this project is something you will most certainly find enjoyable.

#01/24: Vibration
“Let's be together forever” ― Words that set my teeth on edge. In the end people are alone until death, so how can you say something like that?
After all, everyone can only love themselves, so how can you believe in words like that? Off to the world that I always looked down on.

#02/24: Hard Boiled
There are no real hard boiled people. There sure are many people who wish to become people who won't get carried away by emotions.
But when you think of this modern society where it's natural to test and betray each other, to tell the truth, I think medium-boiled is just fine.

■ Story ―
“Looking for the reason to live.”
“I” opened her eyes in an unknown beach in the middle of the night. She had lost her memory and couldn't even remember her name. As she was left there with no idea of what had happened and who she was, a man named “D” appeared from nowhere and saved her. D took her to a house where his friends were. There I meets the head of the house “R”, alcoholic “J” and mysterious boy “C”. She learns that the place she is in is “sea” (a separate world where people who have lost the hope to the real world and have decided to end their lives visit before their death), and that they are special beings in that world. While still having no idea of the reason she exists (the past she has forgotten), one day she meets a girl named “U”, who disappears immediately. For some reason I can't forget U, and she believes that U has something to do with the memory I has lost, and so I starts to look for her. What will be waiting for her in the end?
