New world.

This year is the Year of the Horse, so I created this song with the hope that it will also become a year of growth and great progress for me.

New world.

A new world seems to be waiting ahead in many different ways.

While keeping my original feelings close to my heart, I wrote these lyrics based on my own interpretation of the works of one of my favorite manga artists, Kozue Amano.

My very first song posted on YouTube, Hotaru, was also inspired by part of Amano-sense is work.

I have loved her works for a very long time.

For several years, I wasn't able to enjoy my hobbies at all, so I hope this will become a chance for me to experience her works again.

Amano-sensei has created many works that became an important part of the foundation of my life.

Through her stories, she gave me kindness as a person, and a wider perspective that allows me to see even small happiness as something truly precious.

She is a manga artist whom I deeply respect and feel incredibly grateful for.

In a time when so many things can be completed within the palm of our hands, I want to raise my face and look out at the world.

I want to know more about it.

I want to do more interesting things.

This song is filled with that desire, and it was inspired by works that made me feel that way.

If you'd like, please listen.
