Whale 5th anniversary!
Thank you to everyone who has supported us since the beginning and to those who have recently gotten to know us.
I am happy that we are celebrating our anniversary again this year. I’m glad you can continue making music.
I often get scared because there are so many songs and values that I wouldn’t have discovered if I hadn’t continued.
I shudder to think that no one liked me when I was 24 years old, stubborn, sharp, and incompetent. Thank you everyone for loving me. I started an activity when I was 19 years old, but before I knew it, I was now 24 years old, and on nights when I couldn’t sleep, I would drink until I passed out, but lately I’ve been happy just making a roasted green tea latte and feeling relieved.
There are still countless nights when I cry due to anxiety.
Thanks to the song “Nemurumachi (feat. We performed a live version. We have already prepared some amazing songs for 2024!
I will continue to do my best, so I appreciate your continued support. ────────────────────────────────────
