Written as the theme song for NHK General’s drama “Vanilla na Mainichi,” airing from January 2025, this piece suggests a new frontier following the album “Ongaku.” In times when your heart feels unsteady or when you’re on the verge of losing your sense of self, it will become a treasured song that stays close to you.

Tsumugu / Tota
