Penguin Sanatorium
A send-off with Soma-kun’s singing and guitar.
At first, he asked me to play guitar for it, but Soma-kun’s guitar was perfectly fine, and the mood of his own accompaniment was great, so I refused with all my might w
Contrary to the title, it’s heart-rending. The melody and lyrics are lovely. It feels wasted as a secret track w #SS1stAL

And the CD has one more song, Penguin Sanatorium. It forms a pair with Fish Story. It has the feeling of a home recording, with outside noises and rain mixed in. I sang it to my own guitar accompaniment. It was fun~! And now, the story returns to Fish Story. -S #SS1stAL

I know everyone’s thinking about how great Soma-kun’s voice is right now, but I believe that the backing guitar and piano are also part of what makes Saito Soma’s music, and this is a song where his vocals are subdued for that balance. -P #SS1stAL

Kesshou Sekai #SS1stAL
This became a very contemplative song for me 🙂 It’s my favourite
My first outfit idea was a decadent traveler
The keywords were the other side of the moon, the hole in a donut, etc
I pondered about a lot, but it all came together in the end!

Wait, it’s already Kesshou Sekai?! That was fast!! I’m having so much fun; I wish this time would last forever! Thank you so much, everyone! Kesshou Sekai truly puts me at ease somehow; it makes me think yeah, this is okay. -S #SS1stAL

Kesshou Sekai. From the beginning, I knew that this song would have to come last. Individual crystals come together, and become one. This is the song I wrote with the most of my own words. While the credits are rolling, the journey continues. Now, let’s go. -S #SS1stAL

Kesshou Sekai
This might be my favourite song in the album.
I arranged it based on how it made me feel when I heard the demo. For some reason, I teared up while playing guitar. It’s unusual to have a song with two hooks, but it’s a wonderful melody nonetheless. This is the true form of the singer-songwriter Saito Soma I know. Emo-ness is Soma-ness. #SS1stAL
