A Song to Recommend to First-Time Listeners
－Wakiki: As this is your debut album, if you could choose one song from Follow The Light for someone hearing your music for the first time, which song would you recommend? And why?
June: This has been hard for me to choose because I feel like the album moves very dynamically through more quiet songs and moments to songs with bigger instrumentation but maybe Human Angel because it kind of encompasses the reggae dub moments and folk moments together.

When and Where to Listen to 『Follow The Light』
－Wakiki: The way your vocals seem to float, together with the shimmering harp sounds that feel like they open a doorway into a dream world, made me feel gently detached from reality, almost as if I were floating. Because of this, I found myself wanting to listen to the album during quiet moments before going to sleep. What kind of time or setting would you like people to listen to Follow The Light in?
June: I think definitely reflective times like before bed or maybe the morning would totally suit the record ! Or maybe a long drive or walk. I think the fact the the record is coming out before winter is nice timing for a more hibernating period to listen.
A Message to Listeners in Japan
－Wakiki: Finally, do you have a message for your listeners in Japan?
June: Hi ! 💚 Thank you so much for listening. I have never been so I dream to visit someday !
