<About the Song>
Kikka Haru is someone who is more associated with upbeat songs,
so I thought it was an interesting challenge to try a ballad this time.
I composed the song while considering how to make Kikuka Haru's voice sound appealing.

Originally, she has a high level of vocal expression, from straightforward singing to unconventional styles and even rap,
so I believe this song fully utilizes her expressive capabilities.

In terms of sound, I focused on expressing both melancholy/fragility and strength simultaneously.

<About the Song>
"If I Could Be the Light You Remember" is a song that depicts the moment of moving forward again while reflecting on irreplaceable youth, filled with both regret and gratitude.
Kikka Haru's vocals convey a warm impression that brings light to the heart no matter the circumstances, so I made sure to incorporate that into the production.
