Description:

“Hikawa Maru,” the last song PANTA ever performed, is now available on CD!This is a live recording from April 11, 2021, at Shibuya Lamama, featuring PANTA and Ryuji Sawa as part of their duo “Hayabusa.”Hikawa Maru was a theme PANTA pursued throughout his life.After being told he had a limited time left, PANTAs final challenge was to turn it into a novel.However, as he worked toward completing Tokyo Wolf, the time remaining was far too short.So PANTA asked his friend, historical novelist Jun Ito, to bring the story to life.The result is the novel *Goddess of the Strait*, to be published on August 19, 2026.This CD is part of a media mix project tied to the novel.Please be sure to listen to this groundbreaking endeavor.
