Finally, my first EP [Prohibited Area] is now officially published.
I feel comfortable now because I can now release off my terrible memory on that area, and feel sad because it took a long time to reach until now.
Because the period of time cannot be expressed by one song, I made four songs and organized them into EP.
Especially the title song was destined to be the title ever since the song had been written.
When I was encapsulated and struggling in that area, I wrote the song while hoping that someone in my life will love me forever, without knowing whoever would be. I just wanted to make the title hopeful one.
The rest of the songs are written from the following motif;
1) the time when I should cut the grass even though my colleagues fell off from the hot weather
2) desperation from drinking abnormal water distributed to me even at that moment
3) night sky with distorted constellation and the moon glowing beside them

I've pondered a lot whether to make Music Video or not for a long time.
I'm too shy to say that I'm making music to someone. I'm too shy to record my vocal in my music.
For that kind of person, shooting M/V would be out of his/her mind.
Additionally, I felt desperated after producing M/V because I was not sure whether this quality could be really published officially and distributed onto the world forever. (It took only three days from shooting to producing.)
However, in retrospect, I thought that all of that shyness and desperation would be nothing if I could record the timeflow - from thinking motif of the title to giving my rest of my life to her - into video.
This is the only reason why I shoot M/V.
Even though it is amateuristic and low-quality, this song and M/V is my full dedication to her.

As in the album credit, this album is full of longness, sadness and anger.
However, I eventually wanted to say "hope" as the main theme throughout this album.
Even though our voices cannot be heard due to the airplane takeoff noise,
even though they distort our constellation to block the night sky,
even though they prohibit all the rest of flight without scheduled one,
we should write down the other melody in that noise.
We could raise our voice larger than the takeoff noise.
If we cannot meet at the constellation, we could meet at the moon instead.
Whatever the environment pressing down you, I hope that you could also take your own flight by escaping that prohibited area.
I really appreciate the people who helped me to publish this EP.
And for you guys reaching this article and whoever listening to my music,
I sincerely give my gratitude from the bottom of my heart.
With best regards,
