From overflowing longing, through intense shadows, to a state of acceptance. With the hope that this album will gently accompany the listener’s daily life and become a source of warmth that affirms those moments. Here lies a sound that embodies the “heart” of this very moment, with every note imbued with deep emotion.\n\n\u003cmayu takeuchi\u003e\nBased in Japan and Europe, she pursues an international career as a soloist and chamber musician.
