―――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――――― 

My name is Isekaijoucho.

I am pleased to announce that I have sung the theme song for the game “HYKE:Northern Light(s)”!

I believe that the nostalgic and decadent game experience of “HYKE:Northern Light(s)” will surely bring us irreplaceable feelings.

I sang the theme song as if I was standing in the middle of the vast world, so that I could touch the mystery that lives in this world!
