Message from Akira Fuse

"Good morning..."
"Good morning!"
"Sleepy?"
"No, I'm feeling good!"
"Really?"
"Yes, absolutely."
"Alright, shall we give it a go?”

The employees break out into smiles.

“Alright!"
♫Seiko: Moving ahead. Touching hearts.♫ taps each person on the shoulder.

I tried to make this song sound like a cheer that’s suitable for today. The sound is a fusion of rock and jazz, something I've always wanted to try, combining the power of adult rock musicians and young jazz musicians.
The basic concept is something like
“All right, let's do it!"

PS
There's a saying by Shuji Terayama:
"When the clock hands move forward, that becomes time; when they move backward, that becomes a memory."
Isn't that a nice quote for Seiko?
