<Comments
I think it is very difficult to keep one's heart and wishes that should be cherished in various circumstances and environments.
Even if there are days when you have to overcome with an unwanted and unsuitable look,
Even if the world does not look the way you want it to look in any way, don't let anyone take away your deepest feelings.
I wrote this song by overlaying such feelings on the world and people of "The Giant Beast of Ars".
I hope you will enjoy it along with their journey.

PENGUIN RESEARCH

Haroumi "Namae no Nai Hana" (Flower with No Name)

<Profile>
A singer who expresses her rich emotions of joy, anger, sadness, and sorrow in a hybrid style using both English and Japanese, and her diverse musical background cultivated through her life in Japan and the Philippines. Stumbling and struggling with the language barrier, she grew into an artist who "conveys words through song" as she desperately tried to convey the language. In the process, she attracted attention by challenging "X FACTOR OKINAWA JAPAN," the Japanese version of the world-renowned audition program, and was later praised by various media for not only her singing voice but also for her expressive ability as she "sings from the heart. In April 2018, she was selected as the first artist for "Road to Zepp," a program to support her live performance at Zepp Divercity Tokyo. He reached his goal earlier than expected and performed in front of a packed audience. In August of the same year, he applied to perform at X FACTOR UK by himself to see how far his singing could take him. She performed at Wembley Arena and received a standing ovation from the 3,000 people in attendance. Simon Cowell also praised the performance, but regrettably, the band was eliminated on stage 4. With this experience as a springboard, the band will hold its first one-man live tour in Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka in 2019, and release a limited distribution EP "MAKE A DIFFERENCE EP" and CD "CLARITY" In May 2020, the band will make its major label debut with the single "Pride" In November 2020, the band will perform its first show on Broadway in 1996 In November 2020, she will appear as the Spanish dancer "Mimi" in the Japanese version of "Rent," a musical that has had a 12-year, 4-month long run on Broadway since its premiere in 1996, has been performed in 15 countries around the world, and was made into a movie in 2006. In 2021, she will be in charge of "Minna no Uta" from August to September. She held a one-man live concert on August 27 (Fri.), which was SOLD OUT. Also, "Koe" was chosen as the theme song for "Forensic Woman -The Movie-", which was released on September 3 (Fri.), and for Season 21 of TV Asahi's Thursday mystery "Forensic Woman", which will air on October 14 (Sun.). In March, they will tour Tokyo, Nagoya, and Osaka in conjunction with the album release.

I think everyone has a moment when they feel "empty. There are people who have lost someone important to them, who don't know what they are striving for, who are not satisfied even if they have everything they want, or who can't even find the meaning of life. Some people have the desire to meet people but cannot move their bodies. I am sure that there are many people who feel this way. In fact, I am one of them.
A tired mind takes time to heal. You may feel tired of doing the things you like to do, or you may not have the energy to do the things you normally do.
You have lost who you are, and you don't know why you are the way you are.
This song is for people like that.
To put it bluntly, we are alone in this world, but I really want to send a message to everyone that they are not alone. Just like Kuumi has family and friends, there is always someone who is thinking about you and will stand by your side.
You may not have someone close by right now, but I would be happy if this song could put you in that position instead. I titled the song "Flower with No Name" so that it would belong to those who listened to it, so that they could replace it with their own, so that they could be on your side. And the finished product is a powerful yell. May Haroumi's "nameless flower" live in your daily life. And I wish that the more you listen to it, the more you will be able to take better care of yourself.

＜Introduction
A great beast created the earth, and humans stole it.
The beast became angry and devoured humans, and humans called upon the kami to fight the beast.
It was the age of the sword. The age of heroes. The age of myth.
In a world where "giant beasts," which cause enormous damage, were rampant, people hunted the beasts and used the dismantled contents to prosper.
Jiro the Dying Man, who earns his daily bread by hunting Giant Beasts, meets Kuumi the Twenty-second, who is being chased by someone, and sets out to save her, leaving behind the sorrows of the past.
The human empire's intentions and mysterious experiments. Giant beasts attack.
Jiro and his friends are closing in on the secrets of the world as they prepare for the promised time...
