I've been given the opportunity to release three of my own songs!! This is my first memorable step as an artist!! Every single track is packed with my current feelings, my way of life and my determination to keep moving forward! My artist debut is only possible because of the people who have supported me, and who have cheered me on!! Thank you so much!!! I absolutely love singing, but I also felt anxious about whether I could sing well or if everyone would enjoy it. Still, because there are people I want to share these songs with, I practiced hard and approached the recording session with confidence! I just finished checking the final mix of the songs, and it's packed with everything I wanted to convey — I'm absolutely pumped! I can't wait for the day you all get to hear it! These three songs are the very essence of who I am right now! My first-ever songs filled with my heartfelt emotions — please look forward to it!

Comment from Non Harusaki I'm thrilled to announce that I'm finally launching my long-dreamed-of solo artist career! While I'm bursting with gratitude and joy — almost ready to dance with excitement — I still can't quite believe it's real. Is this all just a dream…? [laughs] Whether this is a dream or reality, I am truly happy and excited to be able to play colorful melodies, dance and express myself as Non Harusaki. I will do my best to bloom many flowers of dreams together with everyone who sincerely supports me no matter what. Thank you for your continued support!
