<NakamuraEmi comment
If I had lived in a different place, I am sure the music and lyrics I would create would be completely different. I believe that the music I have created because I have lived in Atsugi has become the most unique part of who I am today.
As an adult, I realized that the flowers and insects I took for granted on my way to and from school and the days spent playing with friends, as well as feeling the changing nature in some way every day, enriched my sensitivity more than I had imagined. I also realize that it is because I live in a place like Atsugi, where there is so much nature, that my mind and body can relax and I can do my best at work.
I wrote this song in the hope that today's children, in a place like Atsugi, where there is nature, will see, touch, and try various things, sometimes making mistakes, and realize that these things will be treasures decades from now.
I hope to convey to not only people like me who have lived in Atsugi for a long time, but also to people who live in other areas of Japan, "I wonder what Atsugi is like..." "Would you like to try living here...? I hope to convey the possibility that Atsugi has the potential to realize what each person wants to do.
