Artist's commentary
Just the other day, the news of Nozomi Aoki's passing, and today, Masako Ikeda's.
Both of them were involved in "Galaxy Express 999," which I was obsessed with as a child.
Ms. Aoki's songs remain unfaded in my ears even now.
The children of those days were in love with Maetel, as portrayed by Ms. Ikeda.
I pray from the bottom of my heart for their eternal rest.
