When the clock strikes 5:50 PM, will you wake up from the nightmare, or fall deeper in love?"
The viral Japanese novel *RETAKE SYNDROME* by Twilight Master-a shocking, cynical masterpiece that deconstructs the "hero saves the girl" trope-is expanding its universe with a double A-side English musical release.
Novel: https://kakuyomu.jp/works/2912051598132070603
Starting from the urban legend of a mysterious guidebook, the story traps a boy and a girl in a horrifying time loop of his own creation. Now, that chilling narrative is brought to life through the nostalgic, high-energy sounds of 90s pop-rock.
Sōma's POV - "The 5:50 Retake"
A high-octane fusion of 90s Western Synth-Pop and New Jack Swing. It is an upbeat, intensely catchy anthem of obsession. The lyrics explore the protagonist's twisted devotion, using the metaphor of traditional Japanese lacquer to express his desire to "stain everything black" and keep his beloved perfectly preserved in his delusion. It's dark romance wrapped in a danceable beat.
Enter the Loop. RETAKE SYNDROME challenges your morals and redefines psychological horror. Is it the ultimate sacrifice, or the ultimate cage? Listen to the tracks, read the story, and decide for yourself.
"The bell rings at 5:50 PM. There are no more retakes."

Twilight Master
Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my Universe!
