Hello everyone!
This is written by Ryo.
On a sunny day in April, Karin from Switzerland sent me an email proposing a collaboration to me in Japan.
Just that day, Karin blossoms were blooming in the park near me. It is a very beautiful and cute pink flower.
In Japan, "KARIN" is the name of a tree. This fruit heals the sore throat. It is a tree that is kind to the singer.
Unfortunately I have never been to Switzerland.
But I like the beautiful nature of Switzerland and the wonderful history of Switzerland.
I did this collaboration with the image of visiting famous Swiss places while singing lively and fun!
I'm singing in Japanese The English translation of the lyrics is as follows.

"KARIN blossom"
The blue breeze over Lake Leman slides on a crescent-shaped boat.
Put your song and KARIN-candy in your pocket and go anywhere.
Let's sing a song together!
With the pink Karin Blossom!

The city of St. Gallen has historical charm.
There is a cathedral that used to make beer.
It's fun to take a walk to enjoy the Baroque architecture.
Cheers while eating cheese as a snack! With beer!
Let's sing a song together!
With the round shaped Karin Blossom!

The sharp triangle is high in the sky
Does the triangle hear the whisper of the universe?
Enjoy wine while riding the mountain railway that smoothly and comfortably approaches the Matterhorn.
The tilted wine glass does not spill wine. Cheers again!
Let's sing a song together!
Together with Karin Blossom!
