Relationships: The four are active in an anonymous music circle known as "Nightcord at 25:00" (or "Nightcord" for short), which begins its activities at 1:00 AM. Overview: The members of Nightcord each carry their own personal struggles. They hold a celebration at a family restaurant on the day a song is completed and released, or the day after. Everyone participates in the vocals. The musical style is warm but not exactly bright. Rather than gathering in a specific physical location, they work together via online voice calls. Nightcord has no deadlines for releasing songs; they operate on the principle of releasing them whenever they are finished. They hold deep respect for one another. What is Nightcord?: Short for "Nightcord at 25:00." The four members are anonymous and never reveal their faces.
