Since the series has been loved for a long time, I wanted to respect the world view of the series.
I am sure that the song is filled with the feelings of many people, so I sang it with the "love" of many people and with respect for all the people who have been involved in the series.
The ethnic chorus full of Japanese taste and the airy, gentle chorus are the key to connecting with the fantastic world of "Somewhere but Now. I hope those who listen will enjoy this mysterious fantasy world. We hope that those who are not feeling well will be cheered up and those who are hurting will be healed even if only a little!

For the first time in five years, I have sung the theme song for the "Touhou Genso Wanderer" series.
This time, the theme song is linked to the emotions of Reimu, the main character in the game, and I believe I have created a beautiful melody that complements the story.
Nami Nakagawa sang vocals, Yasuhiro Takaoki wrote the lyrics, MIZ played Violin & Viola, and Masatsugen Watanabe played Cello. The collaboration of these wonderful players is also a must-listen!
Whether you are playing "Touhou Genso Wanderer" for the first time or for the first time in a while, we hope you will immerse yourself in the world of "Touhou Genso Wanderer" while listening to the theme song!

Thank you very much for allowing me to participate in the world of Touhou Project!
From the story of "Touhou Genso Wanderer -FORESIGHT-", I strongly felt the bond with the fans who love the work, and I felt as if I had touched the origin of the work.
Like the waves that come and go, our destiny may be constantly shifting and repeating itself. Encounters that color our lives, conflicts and human karma that continue through the ages. I wrote the lyrics for the universal wishes that people hold in the midst of these encounters.
With fantastic and powerful music and Nami Nakagawa's beautiful voice, I believe that this work resonates a message that transcends time and space to the world.
Reimu and Marisa's nostalgic yet new adventures will surely become unforgettable memories. Let's embark on a journey to the Genso Wanderer with this song!
