A mother's love becomes the only true north.From the emotional climax of the acclaimed novel Dragon's Heir: The Compass of Light and Darkness comes its first official musical adaptation - the powerful J-Pop ballad "Little Boatman ~Compass of Light~".Told through the tender yet passionate voice of a mother, the song weaves the prophetic life of her son - the "tiny boatman" who, as a newborn, ferried 12 baby girls across the Sanzu River before beginning his own stormy journey. For twelve years he wore a cold mask, navigating the abyss of darkness and power, until he finally returns to the golden light of family, love, and redemption. The broken compass, once torn between light and darkness, now points unwaveringly toward a single radiant hope.Delivered by a warm, deeply emotional female vocal, the song builds through three escalating choruses - from gentle lullaby-like intimacy to a soaring, cathartic climax - accompanied by heartfelt piano and swelling orchestral strings.A masterpiece of love, sacrifice, and quiet triumph.
Whether you know the original story or not, this song will move you to tears and fill your heart with light.The sacred battle to protect that small, irreplaceable light has now begun - in music.

Alongside my day job, I continue to pursue creative writing. I constantly strive to maintain an objective, third-party perspective on history and detail throughout my creative process. It's a continuous cycle of envisioning scenes and imagery while adding text and words, but my guiding principle is to craft quality works. I believe that without fulfilling my social responsibility as an author, my work holds no value. Thus, I adhere to the creed that -The pen is mightier than the sword-. Also, I am a multilingual creator who continues to explore and express emotions that cannot be fully captured by words, translating them into high-quality music that deepens and extends the experience of my work. Welcome to my world!
