“Dogs,” the theme song for “SINS OF KUJO,” sung by HITSUJIBUNGAKU.

Sometime in August author Mio Wakagi wrote about the difference between her novel and the TV series.

While writing the main story of Glass Heart (novel), I was constantly pondering whether Naoki Fujitani would survive until the end. No, he absolutely had to live. I believed that was the mission of this story. However, Naoki Fujitani is a complex person, and when I write about him, the text automatically turns into something like “a reminiscence.” Instead of “Sensei smiled,” it inadvertently becomes “Sensei was smiling,” as if I'm talking about someone who is no longer in this world.

The work Glass Heart is a battle with his precariousness, and with him being alive and singing in the final episode, I interpret it as “Glass Heart had a happy ending.”

I wanted Glass Heart to be a story for people who find it difficult to live, to be able to survive, so I made that request.

As a result, I feel I wasn't betrayed. I am very grateful.

There are various parts that are “different from the novel,” but I am convinced [of them]. To those who were surprised, I apologise. Though the look is different, I believe in essence, it remains purely Glass Heart. I am thankful that such a drama was created.

For me, the drama Glass Heart is a (huge) rival to the novel Glass Heart. Seeing the greatness of the drama makes me feel competitive, thinking I won't lose. The novel won't be “overwritten” by the drama, and I will continue to earnestly write my TenBlank. That is what I've meant when I said “it's alright” for some time.

I thought it might be a good time to talk a little about it, so I wrote this.

From the manga, which is being serialised right now:

Kazushi: The song "Glass Heart" was created by Fujitani when he was seventeen years old. I believe...

Akane: (in her mind: Seventeen, the same age as I am now. ) Umm, hold on a second, how old is Fujitani now?

Kazushi: He's one year younger than Takaoka, so around twenty-three...

If you prefer Spotify, the full version of “Vibrato (/Citrus)” is here.

Honestly, I prefer the TV version. It has more depth (maybe bc I could see their faces). And with the number of times I listen to it, Masaki Suda’s voice is warmer than Takeru Satoh’s.

“Tu te dis: «Personne ne voit» / Chaque rocher tu portes avec émoi / Choisir et n’pas choisir d'être libre / Recommencer (Recommencer) / C’est comme ça que tu sais (C'est comme ça que tu sais) / L’univers, le libère seulement / Un présage, une corneille / Qui noire et gauche s’envole avec ton cœur / Dis-moi en fait c’que tu voulais …”
