As I listened to this song many times in the car,

I felt a strong connection between my heart and the song.

A futuristic female samurai who travels through modern times.

Such a keyword came to mind along with a visual image,

The costumes and jackets were created by transcribing them into pictures.

When my own Samurai Drive was born,

I felt like I saw a new me.
