When I look after the flower pots at home, I sometimes come across nameless plants. At first, I thinned them out diligently. These guys must have put down roots here because they wanted to live, so I thought I’d just leave them alone. I left it for about a year and it bloomed with pretty yellow flowers, which then disappeared in the winter wind.

People cultivate the garden of relationships and sow the seeds they want. And the seeds of separation blown by the wind come silently and take root. Like [hidden plant] by Ryojinzan (ryojinnjane).

The farewell depicted by [hidden plant] is quiet. Like an unknown plant that suddenly appears, blooms yellow flowers, and then disappears. Sometimes you may recall how pretty that flower was, but you will never see the same flower again. The folk-style instrumental and Ryojin Zein’s calm voice blend beautifully with the lyrics that use natural objects. In particular, it is impressive that tracks 1 and 7, which have the same lyrics and the same top line, are interpreted in different moods.
