Fujiwara-san’s roar as he sings
It touches my heart over and over again.
Thank you for listening to the song,
I felt like the scent was slightly different somehow.
I’m sure that’s because I was faced with this movie.
As a new step in the history of sound that has been created up to now.
I felt that it was becoming an important song again.
Even in the video, we placed great importance on the idea of “a new step”.
“When dawn comes to greet the starry sky, I will choose a future connected to my past.”
May the music transport you to a new world.
I hope that the images will remain for a long time to come.
I’d love to.
