It seemed that everyone is a fan of GLAY-san. Haha.

This is a song that I had listen to multiple times during my high school period, and it feels quite strange that I am able to undergone an official recording of it when I become an adult. Haha.
I am feeling both profound and honored at the same time.
As I had previously co-star with Nakashima Mika-san in a musical few years back, I had sang this song while thinking about this fated bond.
◆Please give us a message to the readers, who are looking forward to the release
To put it simple, I had sang it emotionally.

The original version by Nakashima Mika-san is fabulous, so please check it out as well.

The impression between my version and the original is so different as if it was a totally different song.
