Full-scale restart -
Minori Chihara returns with her first new song in four years, "Message."

"I don't want to be disliked.
I keep comparing myself to others.
I pretend I've given up.
I want to run away.
I want to disappear.
I want to be alone.
For those burdened by such feelings, I am simply by your side."

Why do I sing, and for whom? Within her struggles, she found an answer and expressed it in a stirring piece woven through poetry reading.

Surpassing the bounds of a singer and stepping onto a new stage as an artist, Minori Chihara's musical identity is here, now, redefined.
