Tatsh wrote this sorrowful Eurobeat song, but Hoshino hasn't sung a sorrowful song yet, so I wanted to sing this song very much, although it was difficult for me express. When I used an accent and sang with too much emotion during the recording, Tatsh instructed me to "try and smoothly sing it", and I sounded more mature and not childish, so I think my voice suited "Gekkou" better by doing this.<br>

I slightly changed how I sing before then, so it was quite difficult for me, but I saw some growth in this song. I was also able to appear in this song's movie, as they took and connected 360 degree individual photos of me in a tram, which isn't like flipping through manga, and I can't properly describe it, but it became quite cool!!! After that, they used handmade props to show an illusionary moonlight, and you can see Tokyo Tower in the background, which is worth seeing \ (~ o ~) /<br>

This time, I'm impressed that the lead Hoshino didn't mind lip syncing during filming, and tried very hard to sing with all her heart in "every take".<br>

I told her "you don't need to sing, since you'll be singing many times", but she replied "it feels better when I sing", which made me cry.<br>
