Uno Hinako throws herself into makeup, fashion, and falling in love, hoping that will make her seem "normal" to the other people at her job. But no matter how hard she tries, she’s a self-doubting mess inside, and her attempts at "normal" romance with men just keep failing. When she starts to think she might be alone forever, a new normal presents itself in the form of her relationship with Asahi Sato, a level-headed woman who works at her company. It starts as respect, and then it becomes far more intimate.

If you want to use other keys, you can start in C and shift all the music up or down to shift keys. This book utilises a learning methodology called ‘Retrieval practice” - where you try recall information. Research has shown that retrieval practice is much more effective than constantly being told something repeatedly.Foreword There we were sat around a darkly-lit kitchen table littered with empty crisp packets and half eaten meal deal sandwiches with guitars in our hands. Me, the amateur guitarist, getting as much advice as I could from Andrew about ways of being different with making music and techniques for making something sound original and fresh instead of using the same old chord transitions and key changes. I noticed that night that Andrew had a head full of creativity and seemed to look at music in a way that I had never seen before. That night, I saw a mind at work that looked beyond the surface of the music, a mind that saw past the rules and rhythms of simple guitar playing and shared ideas that completely changed the way something sounded. I thought then, that Andrew needed to share these ideas with everyone, so it’s only right that he has made this book. This is his world of creativity laid out in a simple accessible form, aimed at musicians of all levels. Keep it close while you create, and I promise that you will never be short of that next great idea ever again.-Sam Ezra84 direct and practical prompts and strategies to inspire innovative music making.
