This song explores the theme of silver romance (romance among older people). There aren't many songs about this theme in the world - probably because there isn't much demand for it laughs. The sound arrangement was inspired by Elevated Jam Tracks' 'Soulful Mellow Groove Guitar Backing Track.'

Stay With Me

"My Life Is Mine" is a song that portrays the journey of reclaiming control over one's own life. It reflects the emotional transformation from experiencing loneliness and uncertainty to finally discovering one's own path. Through this song, I wanted to convey the message that "your life is your own." It expresses the importance of believing in your own decisions rather than being swayed by others' opinions.

I believe that rock 'n' roll can be a driving force of optimism, encouraging listeners to embrace life with renewed energy. This song aims to motivate everyone to live more positively through its rhythm and message. Over time, the rhythms and styles of music have changed, but the soul of rock 'n' roll is eternally indestructible! Everybody Needs Rock 'n' Roll, rock 'n' roll will never die! Turn It Up!

'Help Me Out' is inspired by a true story of gambling addiction. This raw, emotional track delves into the mind of someone who's lost everything - their job, girl, dreams, and hometown - through their own self-destructive behavior. Told from the perspective of a 'sad clown', the lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the irreversible consequences of their actions. The song gives voice to the inner turmoil and desperate plea for redemption of someone who has hit rock bottom, serving as a poignant reminder of addiction's real-world impact.

'I Love the Way' is more than just a love song; it's a heartfelt tribute to that special person who brings light into our lives. This song celebrates the individual who accepts us for who we are, supports us through both joyous and challenging times, and makes each moment feel precious.

This song was inspired by Japan's beautiful ginkgo tree-lined avenues. Whenever I walk along a ginkgo avenue in autumn, I always feel nostalgic. While strolling under the golden leaves, I express my personal feelings about resurfacing memories, lost love, and the passage of time. I encourage you to take a walk down a ginkgo-lined street in autumn while listening to this song. Do you think the tempo will match your walking pace?

'Send You All of My Love' is a classic pop song inspired by the Beatles and the Motown sound. I wrote the basic melody when I was 20 years old, but I never had the chance to release it publicly until now. I'm happy to finally be able to share it with you all.

'Cat's Great Escape' is an upbeat rock 'n' roll tune featuring the Bo Diddley beat. It's about a beloved cat who mysteriously vanishes in the middle of the night. I particularly enjoyed writing the lyrics for this song, as I'm a big cat lover myself!

'I Just Can't Go On' stands out as the only minor-key song in the album. This track explores the painful reality of a relationship in crisis. It portrays the frustration of failed communication and growing emotional distance between partners. The song captures the struggle of maintaining a facade of togetherness while feeling increasingly disconnected.

I Just Can't Go On

"Losing You" is a poignant rock anthem singing about the feelings and anguish over a lover who leaves you behind. Haunted by memories that linger even when you try to forget. Unable to let go, I remain trapped in the past, unable to move forward. Despite the pain, he resolves to take a step forward, searching for a new path.

Losing You

"RESTART" is a song about finding the courage to start over, even from the lowest points in life. I wanted to convey that each of us has the strength to rise up again, even after experiencing setbacks and failures. We are the protagonists of our own lives. No matter what stage of life we're at, it's never too late for a fresh start. I hope this song inspires listeners to rev up their engines and restart their lives once more.
