[Machine Translation] Santara's new single! Joy & Pain" is a love song for people who have both joy and pain. Once the seemingly simple world of a love song is projected onto the reality of a "society in constant strife," it reveals a deeply meaningful "wish for love and peace," an expressive technique unique to Kyoko Tamura. The delicate guitar approach by Kazutoshi Sunada and the beautiful string arrangement by Toshiyuki Mori, a sound craftsman, make the "essence" of this song shine even brighter. Like" is another excellent medium number, a collaboration between Santara and Toshiyuki Mori. The song skillfully expresses the "sublimity of instinct" and "humidity of emotion" that summer brings with its stoically focused words and sound.
