New ShioEx Chapter
When it comes to living and dying by music, Jouji is probably him. Jimi always goes on about his life being the "blues" that drives his music. In a way, Jouji's relationship with music is his blues. Threw away literally everything for the sake of getting a chance to live by music, only to be chewed out by reality and receive no reciprocation, no place to call home, no one he can call a family, living in a lie he made up just so he can bear looking at himself in the mirror, alcohol being the only one that saves him from his own mind, and even in his rockstar lies he can't destroy his guitar because guitar and music is the only thing he has left.
He has blues, all that is left is whether he can express it or not.
