A gem dedicated to everyone standing at a crossroads in life, who, while facing their own weaknesses, still wishes to deepen their bonds with those they cherish.

Come to the forestTaniyama Hiroko

Hiroko Taniyama - Come to the Forest

I live in the forest—“I”—and you, “you,” used to come there every morning.

But from one morning on, “you” stopped coming and started going to see “him” in the city.

This is a song about my feelings, but when it was released, there were a series of abductions of young girls, and because the lyrics evoked that, they were rewritten.
