SHIRASE5002

[SHIRASE5002] is inspired by the Antarctic research vessel that connected Japan and Antarctica through 25 expeditions between 1983 and 2008.

Today, the ship is preserved in Funabashi, Japan, serving as an interactive space where people can experience and learn about the environment and the future of our planet.

This song captures more than the story of a ship.
It reflects human determination, legacy, and the spirit of exploration.

Behind every journey lies unseen effort,
and a powerful will passed down to the next generation.

In the vast white silence of Antarctica,
a rhythm continues to echo -
the heartbeat of those who dare to move forward.

Singer-songwriter and performer Anna Satow brings this story to life,
transforming history into sound.

The track is also featured during events held aboard SHIRASE 5002,
allowing audiences to experience the music within the very space that inspired it.

"SHIRASE5002" is not just a vessel.
It is a symbol of humanity's journey into the unknown.
