【”Natsume’s Book of Friends: Ishiokoshi to Ayashiki Raihousha” Theme Song: Anly “Seishun ~Star Twinkle~”】
“Seishun ~Star Twinkle~” is a song that I have been working on for a long time.
“Natsume’s Book of Friends” is full of warmth and gentleness that brings tears to your eyes.
I’m so glad to have my song chosen as the theme song for this work.
Bonds and thoughts that can’t be seen. Those memories that are aroused by daily scenery…
The lyrics are about how these things give you great power to live on.
I hope each sound and lyric stands by the story and the viewers.
