Song Production Information
Aya
"Sometime... (to the future)" I created this song with the image of walking up an endless staircase with each step while believing in the future.
Don't you want to advance forward, looking for various possibilities without stopping?

Even though you keep doing your best to achieve your passionate hopes and dreams, there are somehow things which worry you and make you want to overlook if you avoid them, but the weight isn't lifted off your back and you can't solve it by yourself, right?
However, if you take a step forward to solve them, it seems possible to determine whether that "endless staircase" solidifies or is removed, like something influencing the weather, which affects the durability of buildings...
... And, the contents in this movie is different from Aya's message (I only first found about about this now...), but if I can convey an alternative nuance with the message that TRAN doesn't give up even though she's unskilled... I'd be happy.
