I would like to create a beat like solid ground in the song composed by SUGIZO and performed by Maki Ohguro. I am so delighted to be invited in such a great project, and be able to play the drum here. It would be great if everyone not only in Japan but also all over the world can sympathize and have a nice smile through this anime.
