By My Side (Unplugged)

This song is a Personal Music piece recorded with only piano and vocal in an unplugged take

Live piano by Shunko Yamamoto and a single take vocal recorded without pitch correction or editing

The sound keeps the natural movement breath and emotion of that moment

Stay by my side and watch over me from the passenger seat

This song was created from a request by Y before the forty ninth day after their mother passed away

It was a time when the heart was still unsteady

They shared many quiet moments together driving to the hospital with their mother in the passenger seat

Listening to music talking and spending time on the same road

The song was written not to simply remember the past but to hold a feeling that can be returned to in the future

A feeling to keep moving forward and live for others

By My Side is a song that connects the future and a loved one

A presence that stays beside you even when you cannot see them
