Futur Yumeko's 31st Single "The World Line of 'Right Now Is the Best Time Ever!'"
A story set in a special world line where the "peak of happiness" and the "pinnacle moment" of life intersect.
The theme of this single is a state in which all past difficulties and unresolved issues have been cleared away, leaving both mind and body in complete abundance - a realm much like entering "invincible mode" in a game. In this world line, every aspect of daily life flows effortlessly. Financial, emotional, and interpersonal worries vanish. Everything turns in your favor, and with the certainty of "I can do it," new ideas and actions emerge one after another.
Yet, within this "perfect stability" arises an unexpected desire - the craving for excitement. Even fear and the unknown become spices that stimulate curiosity. It is precisely because of this surplus of security that one seeks out uncertainty and thrill, much like the atmosphere of the economic bubble era, when roller coasters, horror movies, and thrilling adventures were in vogue. This work vividly captures such a paradoxical sensation.
The jacket visual features Yumeko in a pale pink "juni-hitoe" (twelve-layered kimono). In the background stands a deserted samurai residence on a misty mountain pass under drifting clouds. The stillness and beauty are tinged with a faint eeriness - like an old haunted mansion - embodying the essence of this world line where even unease transforms into enjoyment.
The narrative is deeply tied to the concept of "corrective recurrence," in which a path not chosen in the past is taken again in another world line, dramatically altering the future. Things once thought impossible are realized with ease, and you step into realms your past self could never have imagined. In that moment, you meet your truly free self for the first time.
Musically, the piece begins with an expansive melody that envelops the listener, gradually building excitement. Midway, it shifts into an introspective calm, creating a moment to face oneself deeply. In the final stage, momentum returns in full force, launching into a complete state of freedom and awakening. The entire track becomes a single story that guides the listener to the realization - "Right now is the best time ever!"
This world line is not simply about celebrating happiness. Rather, it opens the door to the next stage - the idea that having an abundance allows you to seek new challenges. Even hardship transforms into valuable experience, and fear or anxiety turns into pure entertainment. At its core lies the will to surpass your past self and consciously choose your own world line.
"The World Line of 'Right Now Is the Best Time Ever!'" is a tale of the new scenery visible only after you have obtained everything. Even if your past self could never have understood it, embracing this very moment to the fullest becomes the key to creating the next future.
