The debut song "INORI -Prayer-" is a piano ballad reflecting his genuine feelings during his middle school years, created in gratitude for his great-grandmother who passed away. The pure emotions of that time are encapsulated in the lyrics, "Even if we are apart, I want to walk with you. That is my prayer."
