When people are sad and lonely, they can be saved by suddenly praying

Great!... I first listened to this song around a holiday night near Christmas. I remember feeling quite moved by its beauty, that my eyes carelessly became moist. I gave this song its title. Even if you're an atheist or don't belong to a religion, when you're somehow healed by something small, there are moments that you'll actually feel a "God-like" presence... this song made me feel such way.

Video Production Information

I was able to unusually finish this movie quickly, as someone who's always slow. I enjoyed creating this song's video the most. When I was making it, it was snowing in Tokyo~, and I felt cold~.

He's working hard to be qualified as a priest. Did he become a bit like his father?

The song title is "Blessing". It's a word that translates to "heavenly blessing" or divine... when I listened to this song, the image of a magnificent aurora and ice world came to my mind, and I thought it'd be perfect for PePe☆ When I was drawing it, those around me commented that there weren't many divine pictures this time ^^;. I'm bad with cold places, so I don't think I'd directly look at the aurora, but if I travel there, I'm sure I'd feel something never felt before, and some emotions will probably well up. But, if I go somewhere, it'd be great to go somewhere warm... is there a place you'd like to go?

When I wrote on the new song candidate bulletin board "the character will probably be PePe", it really turned out to be PePe.

It's a majestic and healing song, yet spine-tingling.
Isn't PePe perfect for it?
mayo's illustrations look like he's somehow looking up and praying, and it's very lovely.

It's a song that lightly and gently wraps around you~.
As the title exactly suggests, it's a heavenly blessing that gently embraces redemption...

... Embracing kindness... you.. will... become... sleepy...

Ah... it's nostalgic. It's a crossover from KEYBOARDMANIA 3rdMix.

For some reason, I clearly remember that time.
At the end of 2000, when everyone in the city was getting excited for Christmas and year-end parties, the production deadline was approaching, and when I first listened to this song's demo that I just received from Q-Mex, I was unconsciously moved that I seriously ended up bursting into tears.
Well, seven years have already passed since then....

With such warm feelings, when I placed my index finger on the CD case while trying to listen to the soundtrack after a long time, I discovered a typo in the back cover that read "~ 3nd MIX" after seven years (laughs).
