DAKISHIMETAI

The title track Dakishimetai (I Want to Hold You) was written in the wake of the Great East Japan Earthquake on March 11, 2011, as a heartfelt slow ballad expressing their most sincere emotions. With the hope that their music might bring even a little comfort, the song was initially shared with a small group of fans in the affected areas. That heartfelt message continued to spread, eventually leading to an appearance on a charity program in 2013.

Alongside their latest original songs, the album also features a cover of TOTO s classic Georgy Porgy, as well as All the Love You Deserve-an English adaptation by Renaja of Nobuyoshi Nakazawa s Yasashisa Nanka Janai-among other tracks, making this a bold and ambitious work.
