Picture book author Keiko Maewo's lyric-writing project, "Sentimental Mission"

She captures the ever-changing, yet enduring, textures of various emotions, like specimens, in song-sized pieces.

Sometimes they suddenly come alive, sometimes they quietly fade away, and much later, like lingering heat or aftershocks, they finally reach the heart. Perhaps this personal and quiet mission can be considered a success when the repertoire of feelings expands. Whether it's the delicate and ephemeral or the unwavering, hard-hitting sentimentality, in a time when even the things we want to remember fade, she pours love into the remaining particles.

May this song be a companion to your special day, that special moment.

The colors are brought to life by sentimental mission's soulful AIwork.
