The direction and lyrics of the song of the same name

Imai Mami recalled that during the formation of the title track, she asked the team to write seven songs. She shifted from pursuing a familiar personal style to hoping her songs would bring spirit and smiles, redefining the album's direction while preserving her own unique style.

Imai watched interviews with kindergarten teachers after the earthquake, drawing inspiration from teachers using their own smiles to inspire children's expression, and wrote the album's title track from this professional perspective.

The revival and commissioning of new songs

"Snowfield Karma" was originally a strong and cool lead single candidate, but was shelved after the album shifted; After the title track was confirmed, the team restored it as a new track from the album.

Imai learned that his favorite composer, Takashi Hamada, was active on a solo career and asked the producer to contact him via the website's email form to help create "Sa・ヨ・ナ・ラ." When writing lyrics, she connects the melody to her own emotions when performing Hong Liqi; She made it clear that this was a personal understanding.
