2.Brand-new Days

-English Translation-

Let's spend this day together, babe
I'm sure we'll experience all sorts of firsts
Words might fail me at times
But I believe in you
Let's get started Brand-new days

Hey, darling
Come out to the place
where we belong
I believe in you
We will make it through
It makes us strong

Let's start talking, little by little
Like snow melting, let's warm up to each other
At the end of this long journey
I'll be right by your side
Let's get started Brand-new days

Behind-the-scenes story :

I wrote this song around the same time as the first track. I was always enamored by the chord progression at the beginning of the chorus and had been trying to bring it to fruition for about 30 years now.

I tried and tried countless times but just couldn't get it to feel right until I received an invitation in May 2022 to perform (stream a video) at a music live event in Spatial, a metaverse. I was part of a team based overseas.

The event took place at the end of May and the middle of June. The first show was set on the rooftop of New York, and the second show was on the luxurious rooftop of a penthouse in Dubai.

The experience was so shocking that it led to the spontaneous creation of this arrangement, cutting out all the unnecessary parts and changing the structure of the song to make it more in line with my vision.

Choen Lee, an NFT artist from Malaysia who invited me to perform at the event, was the catalyst for all of this. Without them, this album and my current activities would not exist. They had such a profound impact on me.

And on a whim, I asked them if they wanted to collaborate on an NFT together. Without even considering their workload, I asked them to draw the artwork for "Brand-new Days."

Then, this animation appeared out of nowhere...

The chorus of the song kept looping in my head, and I even felt like I had heard it in an anime before, which led to the creation of this animation.

Before I knew it, the music animation NFT had come into existence.

The power of momentum is truly incredible.

For this album, we went through the process of mastering the sound to give you an even more realistic experience when listening to it 💕.

Choen Lee uses a voice changer when speaking, which makes their voice sound incredibly cute as they whisper. But they say, "I'm a robot because I'm in the metaverse." I love such a free world where we can do everything💕
How about you?
