●May 12th, 2024 (Sunday) at 19:00 (Japan time), I will be releasing the short video of [Now and Forever in English Version]'s "Project Earth Rise" on Youtube! https://youtube.com/shorts/nPWYkJ7W7nc https://youtu.be/nPWYkJ7W7nc On Youtube and during promotions, I release a short version of the song "Now and Forever", which is cut to 4 minutes and 12 seconds, which is just the first song and the last chorus repeated. However, the original song "Now and Forever" has a second verse, and the full length is "about 6 minutes and 10 seconds" and is a gorgeous arranged song. The 59-second short video that will be released tonight shows the second chorus, "#2 Chorus," which you can only enjoy if you purchase it, so please enjoy listening to it. ●＜What is the song “Now and Forever"?＞ It is a masterpiece that was released in the summer-autumn period of 2019 and reached number 4 on the American world radio chart despite being sung in Japanese. I have finally decided to record the "English version" and release it to the world. "Now and Forever" Music Video, which is cut to 4 minutes and 12 seconds on Youtube COMING SOON! Let's enjoy the arranged sounds that make use of my Japanese identity and decorate the sounds of "the koto, shakuhachi, and small drums of japanese traditional instruments" like twinkling stars. ●＜What is Earth Rise? ＞ This is the title of the video of "The beautiful blue earth rising from the desert horizon of the gray moon", which people on earth who have entered the space age could only see by becoming astronauts. When we, living on Earth, look up at the sky and "look up at the sun," we say "Sun Rise." Seen from space and from aliens outside the Earth, the Earth rises in a beautiful blue color, and the Earth floats. Seeing such wonderful images makes me want to preserve our beautiful Earth for future generations. The song "Now and Forever" was created after seeing the "Earth Rise video" sent to Earth by the artificial satellite "KAGUYA" launched by JAXA. Both Japanese and English lyrics subtitles are included in the short video. Let's enjoy it together! And I will soon be releasing the music video for [Now and Forever-English Version], which is around 4 minutes and 12 seconds from the main full version story. The short video we are releasing today is a preview of it. Delivering to 8 billion people around the world! From SpaceWind With love
