Song Production Information

lapix

Hi! This is lapix.

I came up with the idea for this song after I went to some temples and a big shrine that I frequently visite.
I like their somewhat clear, unique air.
So I kept walking. I walked until my legs hurted.
Suddenly, I figured out a good phrase and hook, although I could not produce in that room.
When I come up with ideas, I write them down on my smartphone.
Everyone, please visit them when you can. It will be a pleasant day for you~

There are many good things about Japan, and I think that there are few countries that can feel the delicately changing seasons?
Showing quite different expressions depending on the season, I can feel them on my body, it is a nice feeling.

The temples and shrines that I frequently visit are all very different during the four seasons!
That was my thought behind the production of this song.
I tried completing it as a fashionable song with the concept of "harmony", which is what I felt back then.

Oh yeah, "Jazz" and "Latin" are part of my music roots, so this time I tried to incorporate those roots into this song.
Uplifting! I wonder if they mix well!

Please try playing it by all means~
I hope you enjoy playing it!
