■Yuzu Yuhito Kitagawa Comment
This summer, I released my first original album in two years, “Zukan.”
Currently, I’m touring all over the country with this work, and I’m having the best time with my fans at every venue. Based on the power I received from everyone, I wanted to create a song that would further expand the world of “Izukan”, so I started producing a new song. During the production, I received an offer for “Monster Strike,” and I wrote a new song called “Flowers,” linking the themes of “resolution” and “determination” carried by the main character, El, who appears in the anime. I think it has become a song that will become a pillar of the concerts from the beginning of the year. Please enjoy Yuzu’s last new song of 2024 and first of 2025.
