Forever love to Mimi. @lowtheband is one of our most influential bands whom we also had the pleasure of touring N. America with in 2017. During then, we also had the pleasure of performing one of their songs together. We'll cherish this memory forever.

Earlier today, my father passed away. I'd like to deeply thank him for supporting my musical life. For "For My Parents", we used my parents' picture as the cover with the permission of the members. Today, I'll listen to this album for the first time in a while. / Taka
