“The moments where common ingredients combine and mingle, and where they are newly born with different tastes, are fascinating and pleasant. The moments where I share this taste that I made myself with good people, are precious and joyful. To me, that is what cooking is. Mingling.” - Kyungsoo (Off The Grid, 2022)

After playing Hope Is A Dangerous Thing For A Woman To Have - But I Have It with Jack, a hologram of Lana and her dancers appeared while a recording played of words from Clarissa Pinkola Estés, author of the book Women Who Run with the Wolves. Full excerpt below:

“Wild woman archetype: there’s usually tremendous suffering involved in the human life, in the human woman who stands in front of this particular archetype. They’re trained to remain contained. To never really spread their wings, and especially never to find those who are like themselves. That was considered very very dangerous. The domestication of the wild continued so young females are taught to not like spit and moistness and sweat and other effluvia, and out of the many possibilities of what it means to be female, only two aspects were given weight. It is sweet mother who always takes care and shows concern for everything and everybody and the know-nothing maiden who’s always sweet, cute and innocent. Which leaves out the whole instinctual and animal nature of a woman. Yet by the time most women who are raised as captive creatures, by the time they were teenagers, they were exposed to art cinema. They were exposed to Latin poets. They were exposed to things and ideas and often lovers even who ask them to please be a full person. So the veils that were laid down to keep the girls separate from their animal nature - well sometimes they were torn and certainly wavered on young women of that time was slipping away because the sensuality of those women, which is not only sexual but also creative, was calling to them more and more strongly all the time. And the “thou shalt nots” were as much a part of the cage that they had experienced as their familial injunctions were. So many many women during that time, not just in America, but in Europe as well, threw over the old order, said “no, I won’t be caged anymore, I want to be free!” And they went out for the first time in their lives and into the world.”

#please listen #this was so beautiful #talking about feeling caged and changing yourself for society — isnt this what taylor has been saying all along?#lana del rey #women who run with the wolves

This scene was just so beautiful and the fact that they didn't reanimate a majority of these into modern JN artstyle is just so 🥺.

New Album『Sono Saki e』 Comments by Everyone Involved

This album may have been the longest production period in my career. It took more than a year to complete this album full of messages that Wakana wanted to convey. I have been working with Wakana since her solo debut, creating works together, producing her live performances, etc. The first concept we came up with for this project was an image of a ray of hope shining brightly through this sad and suffocating world, with Wakana's voice representing a soothing light raining down from heaven. I asked all the composers, lyricists, arrangers, and musicians that I truly trust to help us express such a scenery through their music and words. Wakana herself spent a lot of time working on her lyrics, practicing her singing, and recording. It was her who suggested the title "Sono Saki e (Beyond this Point)". She was very determined about everything she wanted to express with this album. It’s about the strength to open up and stay true to yourself without being afraid to move forward and not allowing yourself to be held back by current events. I am proud to say that all the songs are sparkling and shining just like Wakana herself. I am full of gratitude to all the creators who have contributed to the production of this album. I hope that everyone who listens to these songs will continue to move forward together with Wakana! With this album all we wish is for everyone’s future to be bright, kind, and full of love.

Producer Satoshi Takebe

----------

This was the first time I wrote lyrics for Wakana-san. When I heard Muramatsu-san's beautiful yet sad melody, there was only one thing that came to mind. All the tragic events that have taken place in Ukraine right after the invasion, women and children leaving the country, having to say goodbye to their husbands, fathers, sons and brothers who remained in order to fight. Countless fateful choices had to me made, families and lovers were torn apart. Yet the war still continues in this opaque world. I wanted to provide a bit of hope for such dreary times, show a way how we can continue living despite not knowing what lies ahead of us. Wakana-san sings the lyrics perfectly, accentuating each tiny fragment of sadness and hope.

Yūho Iwasato ("Kibou" - Lyrics)

----------

I would like to congratulate Wakana-san on her album release! I am very happy to be in charge of composing and arranging the lead song "Butterfly Dream". It was my first time working with Wakana-san, in preparation for our first session together I listened to her past works and tried to get a feeling for her voice, gradually my image of Wakana-san was expanded and I was able to create a new worldview for her. I wrote the song so that Wakana-san's delicate and powerful voice would stand out amidst mysterious chords, I wanted her vocals to feel as if they were floating on top of the melody. As for the arrangement, I played around quite a bit with various tricks such as chord progressions, different melodies, and rhythms, so I'd be happy if you could listen to the song and discover various things!

Yuki Kishida ("Butterfly Dream" Composition & Arrangement)

----------

"I would like you to write a song for Wakana that showcases her beautiful voice and talent. She is an incredibly capable singer so she can 100% do a song with a high degree of difficulty.” When Takebe-san made such an offer to me, I got very excited and ended up writing a very difficult song. I honestly struggle to play it myself. But somehow this is what it took to create and express such a "beautiful harshness". Just as Takebe-san said, Wakana turned out to be a singer with great talent!

Shin'ya Kiyozuka ("KEMONO" - Composition & Piano)

----------

Hello, I am Kujiraba. I am an artist and usually draw manga but this time I was asked to write lyrics for a song. When I listened to the demo tape, I felt a strong sense of frustration and the urge to run away. Immediately I was reminded of the confusion and pain that is prevalent in today's society. If you're in a place you don't want to be in, don't give up, continue resisting even if you don't have the strength to get out. Sharpen your fangs and claws and prepare to escape. KEMONO is a prayer song for escape, hoping that you can go to places you have never been able to go or places you have given up on. It’s for everyone who feels alone, anytime, anywhere. If you are in a difficult place right now, I would be happy if this song could provide some comfort for you.

Kujiraba ("KEMONO" - Lyrics)

----------

Before I started working on this song, I wanted to get a lot of input from Wakana, I wanted to hear what she had to say, listen to her story. After spending a lot of time together, learning more about her and sharing our tears, I wanted to write a song that perfectly encapsulated all the precious feelings that Wakana-san carries in her heart for her late father. I wanted to make sure that every word she told me would be sown into the very fabric of this song. Her path as a singer, the way her father had always encouraged her, how her existence in the here and now is her father’s legacy. Wakana's clear singing voice has a radiance that seems to reach the sky. I am so grateful that I got the opportunity to work with her.

Yoshiko Hanzaki ("Shirushi" - Lyrics & Composition)

----------

A broken heart Carrying the smallest suitcase Heading to Haneda Buying a random ticket on the way there Wanting to go to the farthest place. Anywhere. Just far away from here

When you are in your 30s, the times are over when you scribble the name of your crush over and over again, you are no longer naively infatuated with the feeling of being in love. You have reached an age where you should be able to recognise each other's strengths and weaknesses. I was thinking about the relationships between men and women. How you should go on a trip all by yourself in order to be able to accept all the things that you previously weren’t able to accept about your partner. This way you can become stronger. This song is a poem about how I felt when I traveled to Easter Island once upon a time. I imaged Wakana-san singing the song standing on the cliff. I want them to shoot a beautiful music video with a drone *laughs*.

Yo Hitoto ("Rapa Nui" - Lyrics)

----------

When I started composing Rapa Nui, I had an initial meeting with Takebe-san over the phone. The main goal was to create something that wasn’t J-pop. I gathered a lot of ideas, I wanted to give the song an Irish touch, maybe make it a little folky. Listening to Wakana-san's older songs, I got the strong impression that her voice was very clear, resounding like a fresh breeze through the air. That's why I thought it would be nice to have an ambient melody with a bit of an ethnic essence. In the end, it turned into something that can’t really be labelled properly but Hitoto-san’s lyrics made it possible to envision sceneries of a foreign place. I usually write quite hectic chord progressions but this time I stuck to one chord for the verse and then changed the chorus to a minor key. The part at the beginning of the chorus is very difficult, but as expected, Wakana-san sang it perfectly. I would be happy if you could feel the quiet rock amidst the gentle atmosphere.

Tatsuro Mashiko ("Rapa Nui" - Composer)

----------

When writing music, the most important thing for me is the voice of the artist. Wakana-san's voice is ethereal and full of emotion, there’s a complexity to it that makes you see both light and darkness at the same time. And the lyrics she wrote mysteriously matched the world view I had imagined, it really became a unique song. I hope that Wakana-san's voice will gently light up the hearts of many people in this age of uncertainty.

Toshiaki Matsumoto (”Sono Saki e” - Composer)

----------

During the production days of "Sono Saki e" I always had everyone’s feelings in mind. I wanted to fully understand the world and thoughts envisioned by my producer Satoshi Takebe-san, all the composers, writers and musicians. That’s why I did my best to carefully challenge each song. While feeling the music soaking into my body, I experienced the joy of unraveling the feelings contained in each and every one of them, adding my voice to them many times during the production process. However, there were also many times when I felt frustration and resentment towards myself, occasionally it was painful and tough, but to be honest, those moments were necessary. What do I feel in this world right now, what do I want to cherish, and what do I want to convey to everyone? I put all these thoughts into my album. When you feel overwhelmed by sadness and loneliness, I hope that there will be a moment when my music can provide solace for your heart, even just a little.

Wakana

I got married two weeks ago and at the front there was one empty chair, multiple people during the night asked me why there was one empty seat, they were like “someone didn’t show up?” “Were you waiting for someone” and all I could say was yes. The real reason why this chair was empty was because it was saved for my grandpa. He died two years ago and I promised him I would save him a seat at the altar, no one knows that other than my parents, siblings, husband and my grandma.

My ring also has some of his ashes in it, I hope he’s proud of me.

he’s so proud of you sweetheart. he’s so proud of you for getting married to the love of your life, he’s proud of the fact you got married in front of your loved ones, he’s proud that you saved him a seat even though he wasn’t physically there.

he was there on your special day though, beaming smiles from the heavens as he watched you walk down the aisle and get married. he watched as you danced the night away on your special occasion. he was there for it all 🩷

now you’ve just given me an idea for my wedding day when that time comes x

#now i’m sobbing #this was so beautiful #yet bittersweet #asks ❤️#anon asks
