-Unchanging, it is the feeling of wishing for happiness-
What we eat, what we wear, the roads we walk on, and the homes we return to.
We believe that these are proof that our ancestors have been striving to make tomorrow easier to live in than today, long ago when there were still few things on earth.
We believe that at the root of this is a desire for other people's happiness.
We are where we are today because we have tried to make others happy as much as we have been happy.
The definition of happiness changes over time and varies from person to person, but what has remained constant is the feeling of imagining and wishing for someone else's happiness.
We believe that as long as this feeling remains within people, we will be able to create a better future.
We want to connect the feelings of our "ancestors" who made us what we are today to the future. We put that feeling into it.
Music & Lyrics by KENN

Close your eyes
Hold my hand
We’ll become the distorted one
This is us
It’s our roots to go around

Open my heart
Hold you high
I sing a lullaby to you on the road
You’ll remember
There is tomorrow beyond the setting sun

Way back home with you
Trivial everyday happiness
We’ll spin this to you next ‘till the end
When will you be me?
Seasons that change many times
What doesn't change is the memory we spin

We already know
Again and again
Life is back here again someday
Beautiful smile
I’ll know who you are, even if you look different

Nobody knows our origin
You’ll never disappear from my memory
No matter what
Only when we overlap can we become a sphere

Now your turn you know
Maybe you can see the future
I'm always by your side
This is our fate
I sing this song
For whom do you wanna sing this?
That's how we make history
As long as we want it

Way back home with you
Trivial everyday happiness
We’ll spin this to you next ‘till the end
When will you be me?
Seasons that change many times
What doesn't change is the memory we spin
On earth
