“Prologue feat.

Aimer,” included on his 9th album HOPE, drew attention as a track featuring Aimer, just as the title suggests.

The lyrics look back on a romance that ended before it could reach the future they had envisioned, evoking the image of someone not yet ready to step into the next love.

It’s a heartrending love ballad, with their interwoven voices coloring a sentimental story.
