It portrays a ray of hope shining into a lonely heart trembling within an awkward relationship.

A gem of a ballad by Hiroji Miyamoto that cleanses the heart like the clear air at dawn.
He calls all who keep walking with dreams in their hearts “travelers,” and delivers a warm yet powerful message that gently pushes them forward and sinks deep into the soul.
Written as the ending theme for TV Tokyo’s “Nikkei Special: Gaia no Yoake (Gaia’s Dawn),” the song was released in March 2020 and included on his first solo album, “Miyamoto, Doppo.” Miyamoto says he was able to sing it without deceiving his heart; his soulful voice draws close to the listener and kindles a quiet light of hope.
