Debut work by the music production unit "The Rogueplants". New life is born between the stormy land and the starry sky. The light in their hearts is kept burning as they quietly and secretly wait for the new dawn. [Lyrics]
This music was created with the image of TOKYO2020. It is a progressive house music with people's cheers, a racing heartbeat, a sense of speed, and a grand expanse of sound.

It was created based on the inspiration I received when I first went there to watch a ski jumping competition, and the experiences and words of one ski jumper.
A remix of my favorite Michael Jackson's song as I wanted. I aimed for a coexistence of newness and beauty, with a focus on experimental cut-and-paste vocal riffs.
