I scrapped about three songs before I finally made it to “Pale Blue.” It wasn’t like anyone told me that they weren’t good or anything, but I just couldn’t be satisfied with them. “Pale Blue” happened to be the most challenging song I’ve ever written in my career in music. And then I spent a really long time thinking about “just what is a romantic relationship?” based on that idea. So my initial idea was to make it so that it could sound like a song about a budding romance, and also about saying good-bye. While divorce is a parting of ways, some romances start from that point, and that ambiguity sounded interesting to me. Rikokatsu depicts romantic relationships that begin from divorce. How did you decide on its theme from there? So I kept thinking about what the result would be if I tried to do that now. Maybe it’s just that I’ve forgotten, but at this point in time, I can’t really recall writing anything while asking myself things like, “Just what is a love song?” It might even be that I’ve never written a love song in a sincere way like that. When I released that comment, I’d felt like I hadn’t written a love song for about 10 years.
