Message from Ryo Horikawa:

 

 

It seems like a long time, but when I think back, 60 years have passed by in a blink… I have been running through “now” as hard as I can. The release of my first single comes at this memorable timing. The theme of the four songs is “fighting,” but it is not just about “fighting,” and I believe you will feel a sense of insatiable resistance and challenge to one’s destiny and fate. Thank you very much to all of you who have supported me over the years. I will continue to evolve without stopping and show you a new Ryo Horikawa. “BELOVED BLUE” is a song of support for those who continue to challenge themselves every day. Please listen to it!
