Dear Hitomi
Hello. It’s Maaya. It feels so fast that “Esca” is already over. So many things have happened every day for the past six months that it feels like time has flown by without me even having a moment to say “Ah.” But it’s been so much fun. Because I got to meet you. And because I got to meet so many people I love through “Esca.”
Although not as sudden as Hitomi’s sudden departure to Gaia, I also had a lot of “firsts.” First, there was recording the opening, then magazine interviews, singing on big stages… Every day was as filled with joy and surprise. Of course, there were times when I felt down. But now I think of it all as a driving force. At first, I was groping around trying to understand your feelings, trying to understand them with my head. But before I knew it, I was able to feel them with my heart. We felt sad at the same time, and excited at the same time… I think it was around that time that people started telling me I was “just like Hitomi.” I feel like we’ve grown together, adventuring together. Hitomi, you always said, “Your feelings will come true.” I’ll never forget that. For Hitomi and me, this is the starting line. Ready, set, go!
