Lyric

Hanao's new song "Ryusei"
will be released as a single in April 2025.

This work is Hanao's first band sound, and the supporting members are guitarist Sorabou, bassist Sasaki Tsuyoshi, and drummer Takemura Tadaomi. Mixing and mastering was done by Onodera Michifumi.

The reason this work was released was that Hanao produced the entrance song for Chiba Lotte Marines player Sato Toshiya when he walks to the batter's box.
It is currently being used at Chiba Lotte Marines' home games at Zozo Marine Stadium.

It was inspired by a poem sent by Hanao before Sato Toshiya went pro.

"You can't become someone else, but you can become yourself"

This song has lyrics that express this.

Other lines include "Many things didn't go well, I've forgotten the words "reward"," "The me of that day shouts, "Is that all?", and "The me of tomorrow roars, "I can still go."

Currently, Hanao mainly works with acoustic music, but this is the first song under the name Hanadan to feature a band sound, made with friends they met while continuing to play in the rock band Taiyo-zoku.

During the acoustic guitar part,
you can also hear children clapping.

Currently, it is only available for download.
Please check the official website for information on the CD release and Hanadan Live information.*
These are heartwarming lyrics that are written in a down-to-earth way, and are not limited to baseball players, but can also be recalled in everyday life.
