[Comment from Ren Hirabayashi (Keep in Touch, SUMMIT)]

I’ve always been fascinated by people who are passionate about something.
I feel like I have been moved many times by the expressions of people who have no reason for loving what they like.
“Keep in Touch” was launched with the desire to continue to savor and share these moments.
Please tell us your favorite song right now.
I want to get so absorbed in your music that I forget to eat lunch.

[Comment from Hidenori Okita (EPIC Records Japan)]

There are so many stories out there it’s boring.
There is no more important story than wanting to see you. Don’t you think so?
So tell me you want to see me in the best way possible. Isn’t that what dance music is all about?
On a crowded morning train, at a convenience store during your lunch break when there’s a line, or at a drinking party you don’t want to go to.

Make any place beautiful with your style. It’s boring. Make it amazing with your skills. I’m telling you if you’re reading this. Contact me.
