At the start of this year, I finished working on it and I've also been waiting for its release too. First of all, the initial plan was to release it last year. Since then, I've been telling you that an album was underway.

I'm sorry that I made you wait for a long time. I want to thank you all for your patience! And actually, after a long time of contemplation for years, I think this album will be my last!

No one knows what life will bring to me in the future, but it was such an honor to cover famous, lovely, good songs for the last time. I'm so glad that I was able to share the gift of music to Yumiz, who have always looked forward to my songs and supported me.

Music lasts a lifetime. I have much love for this album too.

Thank you so much."
