A.O.V 25 - Lusika, FlowerFlower / No.1 "Reika"

The beginning of the A.O.V series production.

The color of the beginning.

Speaking of beginnings, there's the morning.

Even if it comes from someone like me, who's often chasing a deadline and filming without even taking a bath,

it might not be very convincing, but I really love baths.

However, there's one situation I just can't stand—

and that's "bathrooms with yellow light."

It often happens that production finishes at dawn, and I take a bath before sunrise.

As I'm enjoying a long soak, a yellow light starts to seep in when I'm least expecting it,

and at that moment, I quietly retreat.

During my student days, on the way back from an unfamiliar offline meeting, I saw the morning sky over Kabukicho, and it had that same yellow light.

That morning started with a sense of guilt.

—Even though I hadn't done anything wrong at all.

In fact, I even wish I had let loose a little more.

But I also know that's something I can only say now that it's over.

To get back to the point, the yellow light of morning in other situations, like parks or balconies,

actually brings a sense of reassurance.

There's no guilt anymore. It's refreshing, even.

Still, the yellow in the bathroom is just a no-go for me,

and maybe that's just my personal preference.

Thinking about it that way, I guess I really do love baths, after all.

I'm realizing it anew as I write this now.

The time just before it turns yellow,

feeling the red sunrise—

I want to make flowers bloom in the future of tomorrow.

Since it's a beginning, I'll add a few longer words.
