This song was created with the idea that amazarashi would create the work with his belief in the power it has, and then hand it over, assuming that the thing that Hiromu Akita had in common with amazarashi was "pain," which he felt after reading "Chi." The song is over 6 minutes long.
The MV was filmed at the planetarium of the Itabashi Educational Science Museum, and with the cooperation of the National Astronomical Observatory's 4-D Digital Space Project, the lines and past characters that appear in "Chi." are projected along with the motion of a shooting star, intersecting with amazarashi 's lyrics. The cover photo for "Cassiopeia Moorings", which has been distributed since today, is an illustration drawn by Mr. Uotoyo, the author of "Chi.", based on "Cassiopeia Moorings". The final volume of ``-'' was released today, and the decision to make it into an anime produced by Madhouse has also been announced, making it a must-see work.
■Uotoyo comment
I was once again surprised at how much anguish, loneliness, and sadness were expressed through amazarashi. And if the basis of that sparkle is "pain," it makes us realize that our pain points are part of our humanity. I'm just happy to hear a song like that.

blood. I thought it would be impossible to create a theme song for this epic story. I thought I had completely lost.
I interpreted it as a theme of ``acting according to your beliefs and passing them on,'' but I also felt that this was also the writer's own beliefs. The determination and tenacity to create. I was shown the manuscript for the final volume before it was released, and I could feel it even when I saw the lines that had been revised.
And I realized that these were similar to my own creative struggles. So I decided to write a song about that.
blood. I hypothesized that what the main characters, Mr. Uotoyo, and I have in common is ``pain.'' Isn't that the only thing we can understand? I thought.
amazarashi has some overseas fans, and I often feel that even though we don't speak the same language, we understand each other through "pain."
blood. is a historical story, but I think the pain will transcend time.
I came up with the lyrics, ``If most things in this world are the traces of the blood of those who accomplished things,'' I heard Uotoyo say about it in an interview. (Wasn't smartphones like an accumulation of history? It's vague.)
I created it with the idea of taking what Mr. Uotoyo had achieved, creating it based on my beliefs, and then passing it on to him.
