Anonymouz Comment
When I started to watch this work, I was quickly captivated and found myself absorbed into the world of the work.

While writing this song, I thought many times of Tolphin, who has lost his only purpose and is now going to flow into the unknown, facing love and pain.

I put my own feelings into the song, overlapping the light and shadows that I also have within myself.
I am very honored to be a part of a work that I love so much.
I hope you enjoy "River" along with my work.
