At the beginning of the world, there was a note, a movement, a suite. Gradually, countless melodies converged into a torrent, and so the world was born and grew.
The melodies cherished the life they had created. But when it was time to compose the world's end and complete its cycle, a dissonance appeared. Unwilling to let its creations die naturally, it deliberately broke apart its own melody, scattering into notes of every size and crashing into the perfect suite until it shattered. More and more dissonances appeared, falling into the two-dimensional world and instead causing countless deaths.
To restore the order that had been thrown into chaos, the most fundamental note, the hollow whole note with no stem or flag, stepped forward. The melodies bestowed their blessings upon it, so it could save the world in their likeness.
The Swan Lake: Dance of the Little Swans x Jujutsu Kaisen

"On a midsummer night, beneath the moonlight, let's elope romantically together!"
Ode to Joy x Demon Slayer
"Joy, thou goddess, fair and holy, thy magic brings us all together."
"Children of the Demon Slayer Corps," the merciful goddess lowered her eyes, looking so peaceful and serene. "I praise unity and friendship. I praise freedom and equality. I praise humanity, and the courage of mankind! The joyful day I sing of has arrived."
And so, beneath her radiance, the demons vanished.
Requiem in D Minor x Frieren: Beyond Journey's End
"Lord, grant them eternal rest."
"The wicked and all demons shall face judgment." The pious nun stood quietly on the battlefield, bloodstains on her hem, her eyes filled with compassion. "I am a musical suite, the unfinished work of a genius, but I will never allow curses that toy with the lives and deaths of mortals to exist."
She met the gaze of the Saint of the End, Tod.
