At last, we are pleased to announce the full release of "PURSUE".
The 13 songs, including bonus tracks, are an autobiography of NON's 20s.
I have been working to express my bright and strong side in my music. I wanted to show strong, bright, fun energy.
However, in creating PURSUE, I began to think that it would be interesting to express weakness and fragility in a way that had never been done before.
Oh! Oh! Oh!" was provided by Mr. Yasuyuki Horigome, with whom we have just announced a collaboration, and one day Mr. Horigome gave me a demo saying, "I think this would be good for Non-chan. The demo was really cool and I definitely wanted to sing it! So I asked him to produce it, and he gladly agreed, and even added guitar and chorus, making it a really special song. I was so impressed that I could get a present for my hard work....
Kei Higuchi and I thought that Kei was indispensable for "Non's" autobiographical work, so we offered to write a song for her, and we wrote the lyrics together. The songs produced by Kei always grab my heart and make me sad.
The song he wrote for us this time, "Because Dreams Hurt (Inspired by Tokyo Hyakkei)," has a melancholy and youthful feel to it, and is a dedicated rock song that tickles my desire to be in a band. I can't help but be moved when I sing it.
Standing in the Wilderness," provided by Higuchi Ai, is a powerful, delicate, and dramatic song.
We set up a meeting with Ai and talked about it with gusto.
I didn't want to show my weakness, but I wanted to ask Ai for a song that showed my vulnerability, and we talked about many things, starting with my own thoughts and experiences and Ai's thoughts on music. I was impressed by Ai's way of confronting music, which is also a treasure.
A few days later, he sent me a wonderful demo, and I was so impressed.
I was impressed when he said, 'I also feel like I've cut myself a lot of slack.
It is Ai's song, my song, and I hope it becomes such a work that spreads to many people.
PURSUE, I can't wait to sing it live.
And I want everyone to get excited.
Let's sing together, everyone!
