Emotional R&B that sings of raw reality, continuing the legacy of the series project "In the Direction of Light"
"On my usual way home, as night falls, a dazzling light-some kind of guidance"
A documentary showcasing the artist's unvarnished present-a guitar melody resonating through the city night that heightens feelings of loneliness, and a ray of light breaking through.

The frustration of holding onto ideals while being unable to move forward as desired; emotions swaying due to the disparity in the flow of time between oneself and those around. On the way home as night falls, a starlike light that suddenly catches the eye is not only a sign of someone's presence but also a guiding beacon that makes one realize just how deep in the darkness they had been.
The cover art was created by graphic designer Ryo Emoto, known for his work on BIO and Simplycomplicated. It visualizes "Resolution in the Darkness,"a piece originally created in 2022 and expanded four years later.
