Hanataba

Marjoram Orchestra is a rapper driven by the desire to share music filled with happiness. After his mother fell ill, he resumed making music with the belief that he should pursue what he loves without regrets. Through his distinctive lyrical style, he weaves the joys and sorrows of life into his rap.

Hanataba was written with the heartfelt wish for his mother's recovery. When that wish went unfulfilled, he decided to keep the song unreleased. Set to a beat by Kenichiro Nishihara featuring a beautiful piano melody, the song expresses his struggle with loss, his resolve to move forward, and his gratitude toward someone dear to him. His deeply personal lyrics offer comfort to listeners, resonating with their own wishes and feelings for the people they hold close.

The cover artwork was created by Marjoram Orchestra himself, who is also an artist. Painted on washi paper dyed with hamabou flowers, the warm and expressive artwork reflects the atmosphere of the song and conveys the emotions behind Hanataba through both music and art.
