This is the commercial song for “Knorr.” It’s a piece Mr.

Makihara provided to CHEMISTRY, and he also took part in the chorus.

They asked for something with the feel of a traditional song, and that’s how this track was created.

Throughout, it consistently conveys the message of not giving up on your dreams.

It’s a song of hope.
