During these five years, the key word was "the birthplace, HOME." This year is crucial for being the fifth anniversary. I thought I should make a song dedicated to the birthplace on this new journey this year. Although dreams are broken, we always return there. When I thought about making a song about this subject, the song came out spontaneously. At
first I tried to build it on the image that Misora Hibari had in her song
"Kawa no Nagare no you ni", but most of the Heisei era, and most western
background, and I have it thanks to the orchestra of Hoppy Kamiyama and the sound of his harp. This combined with Kameda orchestral arrangements make this song one of the most impressive in many ways. I hope not to lose this kind of arrangement so great for my songs in the future.
I started trying to answer the question of what is "LIFE." In a word, I would say is "... complicated." But
complicated as regards, for example, when you wonder if something is
good or bad about what you think is moral and what is done
traditionally. We have to teach to children not to lie, but there are times when you lie to save the love? It is really difficult to separate the "right" from "wrong." Even in love. While we cling to prevent someone from getting out, the important thing is the time between the left and getting back together. So, while life is complicated, I tried to convey the message in the song that may isn't so complicated.

Everyone has ever shared the feeling of jealousy, is an interesting example on which to build a metaphor, isn't it? From this idea came the song. Japanese definitely did not sound too well, so I found a good ally in English. I wanted to evoke the "bukubukubuku" of a mysterious liquid, or a clock that has gone mad. The last cry is not a test. It's a pretty way to cry (laughs).
I am fascinated by pairs of words with opposite meanings. For example, truth and falsehood, past and present, and eternity and the moment. The base of the song is the suddenly eternal separation between two people in love. She can't believe it until the words "the reality is like a lie" float before her eyes.
Impressed, after making an hymn for all women with "Every woman's song," it gives us the chills (laughs). So we decided to do this time a song to remove the shame! In one part of the chorus I said "I do not know the melody!" and began to hum. And why not stay with "Bop ~" instead of lyrics? "Not so bad" I said. And Janis nodded. Even coming from a Japanese way, I think it works well.

I
started writing a poem, I tried to feel around me and wonder what to
admit, the dance of those images that failed to touch the heart,
reminded me of a waltz in any way, and I used it for the song. The song is just piano and cello. The use of these two insrumentos gives a vague sense of "Is that all?".
The feelings may seem to be transmitted, but not transmitted. It isn't so painful not to transmit it, right? Just
reading the lyrics you might think is a song so sweet and sad, I guess
because of the connotation of "Even if you hurt me again, I put a
Band-Aid, really where is the pain? You have to realise it! "that it have (laughs), but the musical arrangement is quite strong. You can feel the beating of drums and parts of "only" co-exist perfectly.
