Organizations & Factions
Verona Ballet Company
The prestigious Verona-based ballet company where Natsumi is principal dancer, directed by Luciana. Competitive internal politics (Natsumi vs Patricia).
View Records —Kiseki Records
A Japanese music label/talent operation that signs Eden. Owned by Sunset Music, which is in turn owned by the Yamada Group. At this point the label has no office, a thin roster (Stella Marina, Saki Sawajima, now Eden), and an uncertain future tied to the Yamada Group's upheaval. Positioned as part of the 1985 pop-culture explosion.
View Records —Sunset Music
Mid-tier holding that owns Kiseki Records and is itself owned by the Yamada Group. Named only as a link in the corporate chain.
View Records —Yamada Group
Reframed as the 'Yamada Zaibatsu' — a motorsports dynasty whose influence extends through Reika into bike-leasing and tracking networks spanning Kanto and Kansai. A pervasive surveillance reach.
View Records —Kuroda Family
An elderly 'Kuroda-sama' visits Natsumi and Ryoji bearing mandarins; behaves like a doddering old man but provokes a dangerous, 'ancient' reaction from Ryoji. The encounter reads as a veiled probe between factions. Reinforces that the Kuroda family is entangled in the esper/faction conflict.
View Records —Mirabelle Sounds
A rival/parallel music management outfit. Stella Marina appears to work with their manager rather than being exclusive to Shun/Kiseki, complicating the label landscape Eden has entered.

Places & Settings
Osteria Edera
A hidden, near-derelict tavern in Verona ('Osteria Edera', sign worn to a vine's shadow) with a trapdoor and a dialect-speaking old keeper. Functions as a clandestine meeting point for fixers; where Natsumi first meets Ryoji and where the departure rendezvous is set.
View Records —Tokyo (1995)
Neon-soaked 1995 Tokyo — Narita arrival, Shinjuku safehouse hotel, takoyaki streets, arcades, pachinko, vending machines. For Natsumi it is saturated with memories of Kyoshi and Shizuka. Setting for the Tokyo Arc and Ryoji's protective operation.
View Records —Shinjuku Safehouse Hotel
Discreet wood-accented hotel off a Shinjuku side street where Ryoji installs them under a 'protection policy' (beds positioned defensively, secondary fire-escape exit, window cracked for noise cover). Their operational base in Tokyo.
View Records —Fujiwara Estate
A vast palatial aristocratic estate on the outskirts of Kyoto — multiple gates, guards, gardens, household staff, a Versailles-scale manor. Home of the Fujiwara dynasty (Edmund/Ithion and Iliana). Contains Edmund's fresco studio (Michelangelo recreations) and, at its edge, a large converted-warehouse nightclub.
View Records —Fujiwara Estate Nightclub
A converted-warehouse nightclub at the edge of the Fujiwara estate — steel and black concrete, neon, multiple dance floors, a private VIP artery overlooking the stage. Hosts private showings for 'business suitors, investors, family associates.' Where Stella Marina performs and Eden attends before her abduction.
View Records —Orange Hotel (Shinjuku)
The Shinjuku hotel (with a pool deck) where Natsumi stays under Ryoji's protection and reunites with Kyoshi and Shizuka. Site of Natsumi's emotional closure with her past. (Likely the same safehouse referenced earlier, now named.)
View Records —The Northbound Rail Route
The ground journey toward Hokkaido, deliberately chosen over air travel to avoid tracking: Tokyo -> (detour) Osaka via Tokaido Shinkansen to Shin-Osaka, then the overnight Twilight Express to Sapporo, on to Asahikawa and Wakkanai. The trains become a stage for espionage-style coded encounters (e.g., the 'Kurosawa' baseball exchange).
