That is the reality of destroying your feelings, yet letting your smile never fade.<br>
Every day, I keep suppressing my emotions and continue to smile.<br>
Are you sad? Do you want to cry? You still can't let your smile fade.<br>
Are you sad and want to cry? Even so, you still have to laugh.<br>
Your heart aches, as if your soul is going to tear apart? ... even so, you keep smiling.<br>
Does your chest hurt, and your heart tears apart? ...... Even so, you still have to laugh.<br>
Because ... because, you can't look for anything else in life.
That's the only thing you have to do.


On the other hand, do you think there is such thing as "eternity"?
On the other hand, isn't there an eternal time?


" ...... !!"
"......!!"


This is the song that seemed to flow from within me, "DoLL".<br>
"DoLL" is a song which was born within me.<br>
How many people will be able to sympathize with this sort of tale?<br>
How many people relate with this story?<br>
I've filled this song full of the hope of being able to shine, even for just a short moment.<br>
I hope you can find a bit of a brilliant "moment" in this song.<br>
Yes, everyone can ...... everyone can ...... even you ......<br>
Yes, anyone...... everyone...... even you......<br>
...... even me.
...... even me.

jun wrote the music and lyrics for DoLL; I was in charge of the arrangement. I was left with such a deep impression at jun's piano demo, I wanted to expand on the DoLL world view, even while finding a fitting way to incorporate it into the HYPER series of songs. To that end, I was glad to throw countless time and effort into the arrangement for DoLL.
jun is the lyricist and composer of "DoLL", and I'm in charge of arranging it. I was deeply impressed by the singing and piano playing demo given to me by jun, and I remember putting a lot of time and effort in arranging "DoLL" to enhance its worldview, until I thought it was appropriate to include in the HYPER series.


TЁЯRΑ is the representation of my belief in the power of "pop". So, I will be happy if the TЁЯRΑ sound can reach even just one person.
TЁЯRA expresses their belief to always want to keep it pop. That's why we want TЁЯRA's sound to reach as many people as possible.

I've managed to make a movie as powerfully touching and joy-bringing as TЁЯRA's music. Or rather, it happened of its own accord.
I was very moved by TЁЯRA's song, and delighted to create a movie for it.<br>
No, I'm being selfish. I'm sorry.


Really, though it's anime (it looks a bit like a movie extra, doesn't it?), even though the song is great, just before I started this, I fell into an unexpected increased workload.
Actually, although it was supposed to only be animations (briefly overlayed in the movie), the song was so good that I ended in an unexpected situation just before I finished work.


Every day this song called out to me, and I could hear it during every waking hour of every day. On the trains, in my studio at home, and of course whenever I was at work. Man, how many times have I heard this? I can't even count anymore. But I never got tired of it. What's with that?
I endlessly listened to this song every day since I received it, except for when I slept. On the train, in my workplace at home, and of course whenever I was always at work. When you count the number of times I listened to it, that's a lot of times. But... I never get tired of it. I wonder why.<br>
If the song and lyrics are good, I never get tired of listening to it. In addition, I feel that the fast BPM is comfortable to listen to.<br>
By the way, I unconsciously hum these lyrics while racing my bicycle across Shinjuku.


This song is so well done that no matter how much you hear it, it still stays good. On top of that, the BPM is nice and speedy, and lends itself to being felt well.
Anyways, I'm moved that everyone in Japan is playing this song so many times.


Anyhow, it seems that all across the country, people are playing this song over and over; it's very moving to see.
As someone who became the number one fan of TЁЯRA, consisting of NAOKI and jun, I'm really looking forward to TЁЯRA's songs from now on.
 
That's why I started listening to this song again.
