Summary:
Still Doll - The main character in this song is a little girl, and I wrote this song with the image that the girl is talking to her beloved doll. It's filled with something like the nothingness of an empty heart after sadness and lonliness have passed. An empty heart like that of the doll's heart. But emotion still rises up in the girl about her doll, and I wrote this filled with the idea of the earnestness that wells up from that, and of her love for the doll.
Kuroi Torikago - It's like a single bird caught in the middle of a black cage by its enemy, encircled on the top, bottom, and in all directions. In the midst of fear and anxiety, while something it can't see is pushing down on it, it still has something that it wants to protect, someone it wants to protect, and the feelings of wanting to protect them, and I wrote this about the undying emotion and strength of wanting to protect that which you hold important no matter what. I haven't been able to experience those kinds of emotions very easily, but that's exactly why I wanted to clearly write the ideal.
