★ Akari Akase comment
It’s an insert song for a drama series, so I’m happy to be involved in such a historical work. I hope it’s close to your work.
I created the lyrics with an image of Mai Hanasaki’s never-give-up attitude and how she moves forward so that she can accomplish what she has accumulated.
Of course, I want to express my feelings towards the work, but I also hope that it reaches people who are working hard with the feelings in their hearts.
When recording, I was conscious of singing in a whispering style, which was different from my usual singing style.
