Content introduction
Mota Shiina is a 19-year-old creator with unparalleled sound making, an innate sense of groove, and a somewhat friendly world of poetry that easily slips into the crevices of the heart.
This is Mota Shiina's long-awaited third album in about a year and a half, and as she approaches adulthood in March of this year, it is a collection of works rich in stories, created by Mota Shiina looking back on her music production activities, her way of thinking about music, her way of life as a person, and her life with an eye toward the future. Since the age of 14, Mota Shiina has been active mainly on NicoNico Douga, but she has also experienced the hardships of living alone and away from her parents' home, and the joys, angers, and sorrows of life.She has formed the words and sounds that she is able to express.
From the first song on this album, each song has subthemes in the order of ``Birth'', ``Growth'', ``Impulsion'', ``Conflict'', ``Glory'', ``Determination'', ``Departure'', ``Loneliness'', ``Change'', ``Now'', ``Tomorrow'', ``Future'', and ``Life'', making it a work that allows you to experience the highs and lows of life.
The album includes 13 songs, including ``Shoujo A'' (released in October 2013/approximately 100,000 plays) and ``It's a normal thing to grow old'' (released in October 2013/approximately 50,000 plays), which have already been released on Niconico Douga. Mota Shiina's words and sounds pierce the shadows of everyone's emotions, and the comments from users on her videos reveal the depth of their empathy.
In addition, this work uses illustrations by Mota Shiina, who has been serialized in the manga magazine ``COMIC@LOID'' published by KADOKAWA Co., Ltd., contributed to doujinshi, etc., and is often shown in her own music videos. This illustration uses illustrations drawn as far back as five years ago, and the content visually allows you to feel the passage of time.
Mota Shiina's uniquely catchy melodies, straightforward words, and cute yet somewhat mysterious illustrations are sure to give a great deal of sympathy and an opportunity to think about life among Nico Nico Douga users and listeners of the same age, who are many of Shiina's fans.
