▼Tatsuya Kitani▼
In reality, there may not be a single thing that you have to do even if it means letting go of the happiness you have right now and the person you need to protect. However, there are moments in life when we are so obsessed with our self-centered sense of morality that we cannot stop pursuing our chosen path, and I think there is some truth in that. I wrote this song because I felt that the pathetic feeling of being caught between two choices is also a beautiful human figure, so I hope you enjoy it.

It’s a beautiful and muddy song that depicts a person who decides to protect what needs to be protected, no matter how many seasons pass, even if love, kindness, and pain all turn into curses. Please listen to it.
Currently, the TV anime “Rurouni Kenshin: Meiji Swordsman Romantic Story” uses the new song “Iranai Mono”.
