[The 2nd Single of the 30-Song Consecutive Release Project: A Human Hymn Woven by Bonds]

Tooru Kobayashi is a unique singer-songwriter and bassist who travels across Japan in his self-built "Kei-truck house" (mobile home), delivering music wherever he goes. In 2026, he is embarking on an unprecedented project to release 30 consecutive singles in one year. "Okina Ki" (The Big Tree) is the second milestone of this ambitious journey.

The highlight of this single is the special collaboration with "Miya-san," the president of Miyai Kogyo Co., Ltd. He is Tooru's close friend and partner in their popular Instagram talk series, "it's Ikanaru Toki Mo."

A professional musician and a corporate leader-two individuals from different walks of life-have come together through the power of music. "Okina Ki" (The Big Tree) compares the people who support us and the partners we walk through life with to a great tree: deeply rooted through any storm and providing a gentle, protective canopy for others.

The track features the deep, resonant tones of Tooru's acoustic bass and his soulful vocals, layered with the warm and powerful voice of Miya-san. Their harmony carries a raw emotional heat that can only be born from genuine trust and a long-standing bond.

Just like the candid smiles of the two men on the cover art, this song is designed to soothe the heart and provide energy for tomorrow. Please enjoy this powerful and joyful "human hymn" born in the midst of a grand musical journey.
