"Zutto Soba ni Ite -Roots Edition-" is a newly re-recorded version of "Zutto Soba ni Ite," originally released in 1998 as the third single on New Taurus Records. While the previously released version featured additional lyrics by Kanata Asamizu, this new recording retains the original direction while being reconstructed around more personal and heartfelt emotions. Back then, the song reflected a view of love shaped by youth and the sensitivity of being in one's twenties. Now, after the passage of time, VINYL brings new depth and definition to those same emotions. Expanded expression and life experience have given the theme a far stronger sense of realism and emotional weight. Feelings for someone precious, the passing of time, and an almost painful sense of longing - all of these are portrayed through unembellished words and sound, making this work truly worthy of being called a "return to the roots." In particular, the ending guitar solo serves as the emotional climax of the song, where lyricism and raw passion intertwine to define the track's emotional core. The recording also features performances by highly accomplished musicians, whose powerful yet delicate arrangements further enhance the emotional depth of the piece.
