● AIMYON comment
Anyway, I'm a huge fan, and I'm filled with gratitude to all the production staff, including Shibata-san, who readily responded to my love call.
I am incredibly happy that a new "ai no hana" story has been born in a world where Shibata's gentle, colorful illustrations and music blend together.
We have created a warm and lovely animated video!
Comment from Keiko Shibata
When I received the offer, I was filled with a mixture of great pressure, joy, and gratitude. I love "ai no hana" and cry every time I listen to it, so I tried to express those tearful feelings with all my heart. These tears were not just tears of sadness, but tears of deep love that also contained new hope and rebirth. I hope this wonderful song will continue to bloom in the hearts of many people.
