One day... (とある日の事, Aru Hi no Koto) is an Odd Taxi short comic that is published on Odd Taxi's official twitter page on May 26, 2021. It is written by Kazuya Konomoto, PUNPEE, and METEOR, and drawn by Baku Kinoshita.
The story follows Yano reminiscing about his old days as Dobu's junior. Yano went to PUNPEE's house for a recording session after hearing his single Riding on a Time Machine (タイムマシーンにのって, Taimu Mashiin ni notte, 2018 music video) from the 2017 album Modern Times. This results in the single My Name Is... by Yano ft. PUNPEE.

The heartbeat is the only impulse to tap play, aka, the playback count's nearly equal to the heartbeat count worth a lifetime. PUNPEE or pumpkin, I dunno, but the chord is unplugged, Pete Rock-style sampling, the beat must be thick, let them have it aplenty. | |||
