まだ知らないトビラを開けて

Kono shunkan sae kako ni naru<br />
歩き続ける限り
Arukitsuzukeru kagiri<br />
Nothing strange about straying, if you’re true to who you are<br />
When one story has ended, 'round the bend’s a whole new start<br />
With this map in my hand, wanderlust inside my heart<br />
Seeking still that out-of-reach Great Beyond!<br />

怖いことも託さなるし

傷ついてたいから
Kizutsuiteitai kara<br />
All my loneliest days are self-reflection filled and warm<br />
Not too far and away, the next direction’s taking form<br />
Even if it's been done, though I don't remember when<br />
Let it feel like the first time again<br />
終わらない旅に出かけよう

There are lots of scary things out there<br />
These are the sands,
I might even end up dirty and disheveled<br />
On which it began, so long ago
But I don't want to grow old without doing anything<br />
I'd rather get myself hurt<br />

* Originally planned to release around debut,<ref>(Jan. 17, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFrMtF6wwHo&t=699s</ref> a large reason for the delayed release was Mumei's self-consciousness regarding her own vocal contributions. These feelings persisted until the song's premiere and beyond;<ref>(Jan. 17, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFrMtF6wwHo&t=263s</ref><ref>(Jan. 20, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqieL3hVAwk&t=2952s</ref> with her muting the video during the song's premiere.<ref>(Jan. 17, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFrMtF6wwHo&t=812s</ref>
** When the song was being developed, Mumei was given a choice between numerous melodies that would form the basis of the song. She finally settled upon the melody that she thought was catchiest.<ref>(Jan. 20, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqieL3hVAwk&t=3569s</ref>
** All vocals for the song were recorded in a closet for sound cancellation purposes,<ref>(Jan. 20, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqieL3hVAwk&t=3664s</ref> but she was often frustrated by the presence of background noise (from neighbours) when she was able to find opportunities to record.<ref>(Mar. 02, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e_dlIvZi2P0&t=5994s</ref>
* The song's lyrics were originally entirely in Japanese and despite a general unease singing in Japanese, Mumei decided that a 50/50 split of Japanese to English would be both appropriate and comfortable enough for her. After struggling to translate half of the song and make the English lyrics adequately "flow" by herself, she approached [[Mori Calliope]] for help.<ref>(Jan. 17, 2021). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFrMtF6wwHo&t=583s</ref> Mumei was surprised when Calli not only ended up writing all of the English lyrics but also, entirely of her own volition, further created a vocal guide to assist Mumei in singing the lyrics.<ref>(Jan. 18. 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHD5NpaWMY&t=2232s</ref>
** The original Japanese lyrics were written based on a paragraph-long brief created by Mumei which explained what she envisaged the song being about.<ref>(Jan. 20, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JqieL3hVAwk&t=4342s</ref>
* The scope of the project was broadened to further include a music video after Mumei was unexpectedly satisfied with how her final recorded vocals sounded.<ref>(Dec. 14, 2021). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Tou8_PGEoY&t=2093s</ref>
** She was inspired to commission [https://twitter.com/Ehre_origine Ehre] for the music video after watching the music video of [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F61eDAXtmnw ''Interact Fantasia''] by [[hololive 3rd Generation]] (Hololive Fantasy).<ref>(Jan. 18, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHD5NpaWMY&t=835s</ref>
** Artists who worked on the song were afforded liberal artistic freedom so that Mumei could visually see their thoughts and impressions upon hearing the song for the first time.<ref>(Jan. 18, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHD5NpaWMY&t=905s</ref>
* Mumei initially struggled when singing the song live because many vocal lines heard in the single were recorded independently of one another.<ref>(Jan. 18, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHD5NpaWMY&t=2429s</ref> As a result, when it came to performing the song through continuously, she was unfamiliar with the most appropriate times in which she should be taking breaths between lines.<ref>(Jan. 18, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=efHD5NpaWMY&t=4456s</ref>
* She is not aware of how much money went into the creation of the song.<ref>(Jan. 17, 2022). Retrieved from https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wFrMtF6wwHo&t=1362s</ref>
