 βThere is something I need to say. It is necessary and inevitable. I love you, forever.β
 After human being becomes extinct, an abandoned AI enters what used to be a closed cruising spot for male homosexuals. As the AI ββexplores that spot, it recognizes about the existence of love and begins to learn about it. After completing deep learning, AI draws the following conclusions. Love transcends races and borders, and is pure and great. After realizing all the truth, AI records the last message to the disappeared humanity and bids eternal farewell to Earth.
 The day I came up with that plot, I decided to make an album based on this content. It was clear why music was chosen among those categories of media. This is because I thought it was the most ambiguous and also the most intention-oriented medium of all time.
 The genre that served as the basis for this album was an electronic subgenre called vaporwave. This is because I felt that it was an appropriate genre for this album, as it had an ambiguous and future-oriented feel based on sampling. Nevertheless, I composed the songs on this album by most classical, in some ways, old-fashioned way. This was because the goal of this album was to recreate vaporwave, a genre where sampling is the main theme, through minimize sampling in a reverse way. Therefore, I composed and developed the song using only analog synths, excluding the use of any virtual instruments. When sampling was truly unavoidable, an analog sampler was used rather than a DAW. In this way, an album composed by the most classical format that combines the most forward-looking writing style was completed.
 I think this has become a big mission for me: to elevate genres that were often considered the extremes of minor genres, such as doujin music and vaporwave subgenres (Broken Transmission, Mallsoft), to the bright side. It felted like cruising culture, which was considered the dark extreme of gay culture, was being carefully brought up to the bright side. More than anything, my desire to derive the warmest and most humane message from the most controversial material was the biggest motivation of completing this album.
I hope this ambiguous, yet perhaps dramatic, musical journey will be a meaningful time for many people.
