Sannu, fellow VGM listeners and welcome back to the intensive care of miracles for people to gather and obtain a unique experience of obscure VGM altogether.

Today, we'll be examining a visual novel game that was released on the PS2 only, known as Fragments Blue. This game itself has its fair share of history from Vridge as they were the developers of Konohana: True Report in the past [Refer to VGMemory Groove #40]. Meanwhile, Silver Bullet has a different perspective view on their 18+ rating, but alas, they went out of business in May 2013 with all of their brands removed. Thus, it led to a fatal end for the company itself. I'm uncertain on what may occur to the turnover employees, but I wish them the best in searching for a suitable occupation that offers an acceptable wage with the fringe benefits of sustaining a vigorous lifestyle in the long-term measured.

Viewing the synopsis of the visual novel provided, it is about the main character, who calls himself Kaname Ōsaka/Ousaka Kaname has obtained a letter with no return address. From the letter itself, it is written with one sentence, “If you remember where I fell, go there with Momoka and search." A key was found and the letter was signed by Chika Yazawa, Kaname's childhood friend and Momoka's sister.

However, Chika had passed away two years when there was no suitable donor for a located heart transplant. Even with the shocking discovery made by Ōsaka, he went on a search by going back to Shimizu, where he grew up to acquire a collection of similar keys in order to open a box that will lead to bliss.

Confronting this quest, he will be accompanied by his friends such as Natsune and Momoka on uncovering the static truth regarding the conditions of the letter itself. Are you ready to unlock the gaping hole of locks to recover the past about the existence of the letter? Be sure to find out by yourself.

Touching by the lines of keenness from this track, it would ignite the wounds of curiosity as the music keeps on jumping to conclusions with the key tone of a violin or viola. Enough to be resistant to the astounding tempo itself, it keeps on lifting your spirits to not give up on life and continue venturing into the abyss of the unknown.

Sounds cliché to all of you, but it is referred to how your mind personates with the style of creativity to be seen, visually by your side.

By finalizing the review itself, the received rating for this track will be an 8 out of 10. Hence, without wasting your precious time in this video, a quote will be inserted at the final phase of the video from Little Busters, promoting a sense of comfort in circling the rivers of buoyant for everyone, including yourself. “Anything can happen. No one ever thinks it will until it does. What will happen, happens. That's how the world is. The most important thing is to not let the tragedy defeat you. To believe that you can get through it.” [Natsume Kyousuke]
