- STEPPER's Note

This work is inspired by the film Call Me by Your Name. It speaks of flushed cheeks, the tender memory of a first love, and what lingers afterward. The record set against a deep blue background represents the clumsy yet thrilling documentation of that first love, while the figures seated along the staff are in the process of composing a new melody. Like the dense hue of a blue dawn, these emotions—rich and overwhelming—suddenly emerge, even as a new melody is being written. Below, the staff stretches out like a path, where small puppies wander playfully between the notes, as if drifting in and out of the music. These small beings act as quiet companions, helping sustain love in the present. At the end of the staff, two figures sit side by side, leaning gently into one another. They are both observers looking back on memory and, at the same time, the true protagonists of the song itself. Without knowing the answers, they continue writing their present story. The vivid blue that fills the frame wraps around the entire journey like the air of evening—leaving behind a subtle sense of solitude, yet an oddly peaceful atmosphere.
