"A lot of what you hear in the original soundtrack came from the spur of the moment, feeling an emotion and letting myself ride it," reflects composer and co-producer Lena Raine. "In that same sort of way, I feel that Hibino-san and GENTLE LOVE tapped into that same creative flow. They took what I wrote, and felt their way through their own interpretations of those same emotions and sentiments. It's an emotional thing to listen to that reinterpretation and, through those performances, feel a sort of communication out of time, across languages, across the world. The performers and I have never met face-to-face, yet I feel like we've had a conversation. They've heard my part, they've contributed theirs, and I feel refreshed in hearing the result of that musical dialogue. I truly love what we've managed to create here, and I hope you'll enjoy it too."
