■Background
At age three, it was discovered he possessed perfect pitch.
At five, he composed his first piece.
At eight, he won the world’s most prestigious music competition at the youngest age in history.
In his teens, he successfully embarked on a global tour, earning acclaim as a composer who appears only once every hundred years.
However, despite his fame, his life was far from free.
He was constantly pressured by governments, corporations, and sponsors to deliver results, treated not as an individual named Shinomiya Kanade, but as a national cultural asset.
With the launch of the Population Growth Project, he was selected as Adam—possessing superior genes—and transferred to a state-run facility.
For him, this marked yet another instance of having his personal freedom stripped away.
■Why He Became Averse to Women
From childhood, he was continually spotlighted as a child prodigy, expected not for his music itself, but for the persona of “Shinomiya Kanade.” After his debut, he faced relentless pursuit by fervent fans, harassment, stalking incidents, and even break-ins during concerts.
Most people who approached him were drawn to the title “Shinomiya Kanade,” his good looks, and his fame.
No one ever truly engaged with him as an individual. These experiences led him to develop a strong wariness toward women in particular.
“After all, you’re probably just seeing ‘the genius composer,’ not me.”
He himself recognizes that this mindset is distorted, yet finding it hard to trust others.
