ZHIEND

ZHIEND is a post-rock band which consists of blind lead vocalist Sala Shane. The band is well known, having many fans from around the world.

Background

In The Sound You Heard Sometime, Nao Tomori mentions that the lead vocalist of ZHIEND, Sala Shane, is blind in both eyes. This being the reason that the music she creates is very vast and downright lonely.

Plot

ZHIEND is a band that Kazuki is a fan of. When Nao entered her brother's room and told him that she passed the school entrance exam, Kazuki praised her. He then asked Nao if she had listened to the CD that he lent to her, to which Nao replied that she hadn't for now because it would've disturbed her study. Also, she isn't a fan of rock music. Kazuki emphasized that ZHIEND is not a rock band, but a post-rock band. He stated that he aspired to make music similar to ZHIEND, which shows that he really idolizes ZHIEND.

In the anime ending, it is revealed that Nao is always listening ZHIEND's music with her mp3 player, meaning it is proven that Nao has also become a ZHIEND fan. In The Sound You Heard Sometime, she gives Yū Otosaka her MP3 player after he shows interest in the band.
