When no matter how hard you try, there's nothing you can do.
When something happens and fear grips your heart.
When you lose sight of the road ahead and can no longer stand.
When you think, "I can't go on anymore."
Have you ever had moments like these?
Even so, we humans must continue to live.
Even then, somehow, we find a way to carry on with life.
And maybe, just maybe, that's when something mysterious happens in life.
It might be the entrance to a completely new path, entirely different from the life you've known so far.
I, too, have experienced such moments a few times in the past.
At those times, I tried to honestly capture what I felt in words.
This is a gentle, slightly mysterious song to encourage life.
If you'd like, please listen.
Harune Gaubin is a Vroid girl who was born from the website "Minstrel Children Children of the Bards." In the past, the site's administrator, Master (Tomonori Yamashita), used to sing songs of sorrow, suffering, and hope as a minstrel (bard). However, since Master only performed with his not so skillful guitar playing, he eventually felt the limits of his activities as a minstrel and decided to stop. At that time, Master came across a YouTube video featuring a Vocaloid singing and dancing. He thought, "If I use the latest IT technologies like AI, maybe I too could create songs with proper instrumental accompaniment and have a Vroid sing them just like that Vocaloid." As he groped his way through the vast world of IT, he discovered that AI could easily create songs with impressive performances and vocals. He also found applications that could design cute Vroid models. This led him to believe that perhaps he could finally realize his long held dream. While many Vroids used Vocaloid voices to sing, Master, confident in his own singing ability, came up with the idea: "Why not overlay my own voice onto the singing image of Harune Gaubin?" Thus, thanks to Master's efforts, Harune Gaubin was born a Vroid girl who sings beautiful songs with full instrumental accompaniment. Master, being skilled at creating websites and proficient in all kinds of PC work, decided to project his once abandoned dream onto Harune Gaubin and make it a reality. "To create songs about the world's suffering, sadness, injustice, and hope, and have many people listen to them. And through these songs, help even a little bit to bring happiness to others." that is Master's heartfelt wish. Harune Gaubin will continue to sing to fulfill that wish. Everyone, please cheer for Harune Gaubin!
