This is the reminder
"Our 20s are just a chapter"
We rush to bloom as if we expire
We rush to, ‘cause they say it’s golden show
We rush to, pressured to be in 20s
We rush to, believing "now or never"
Is that so?
We keep turning pages
Is that so?
We’re still becoming who we are
Is that so?
Oh our 20s are
Is that so?
Just another chapter
We rush to bloom as if we don’t change
We rush to, ‘cause they say it’s golden show
We rush to, you say "no hope for future"
We rush to, believing "now or never"
Is that so?
We keep turning pages
Is that so?
We’re still becoming who we are
Is that so?
Oh our 20s are
Is that so?
Just another chapter
Is that so?
We’re keep turning pages
Is that so?
We’re still growing with time
Is that so?
Oh our 20s are
Is that so?
Just another chapter

our 20s are just a chapter
Kumika Hashimoto
As a 20s studying at an art university while continuing her music after graduating from Waseda University and moving to New York to pursue a new path, she carried a long-held question that inspired this new single, which also serves as a pre-release from her 1st album.
The phrase 'Is that so?' reflects her questions such as: 'Many people feel pressured to become something by their 20s, which is influenced by placing excessive value on youth, and in a world where people with different perspectives live, they often measure themselves and others by a quite limited set of standards. But is that really how it should be?'
The track is a synth-pop piece that conveys the idea that our twenties are not the age to use up all our shine, but rather a chapter to truly begin to bloom. This message is carried by a hopeful synthesizer refrain that forms the core of the sound.
The lyrics express her belief that life deepens and grows richer as we age and with experience, making the song resonate not only with people in their 20s but with listeners of all generations.

Kumika Hashimoto is a New York based artist born in the UK, raised in Tokyo. She does all the steps herself from songwriting to artwork for the music, and is also active in the design field. After graduating from Waseda University in Japan, she studies graphic design at Fashion Institute of Technology in New York. She started composing music on her own while attending Waseda University, creating original songs ranging from ballads to electronic pop and R&B with themes such as what she felt in everyday life, and questions about society and common sense. From her experience learning classical piano since childhood, she is good at creating refrain melodies. Having several study abroad experiences, she even enjoys listening to the little differences in pronunciation and spelling for each language, and she studied linguistics and Japanese language education (holds a qualification called JLTCT), therefore she puts importance on how lyrics sound. Also, when studying in Iowa State as an exchange student, she took acting class to learn expressions. After her viral hit of 'hot chocolate in new york', she has garnered over 1 million views across social media and continues to gain international attention. Her recent release 'LA*PPY' captures the joy of Los Angeles and has been featured by Hollywood actors.
