Rooted in jazz, Luna Watanabe presents an album that moves freely across genres, from instrumental pieces to vocal tracks.
Featuring 10 original songs, this work captures a wide range of emotions-from tender, everyday moments that make you smile, to sounds that gently embrace more difficult feelings.

RETURN TO INNOCENCE

For me, this album marks a point of departure.
Centered around the idea of "returning to innocence," it reflects a pure beginning-something irreplaceable that exists beyond fear, found only by taking a courageous step forward.

It is a warm place I can always return to, something that will never disappear.
As my first album, this title carries the essence of that feeling.
