I’m thrilled. Who would have thought that the day would come when we would be allowed to create a theme song for a great masterpiece… Is
it a trendy sound? The latest genre?
No. We want to deliver the music we believe in, “BLUE ENCOUNT,” straight to you.
I remember that the moment we felt that way, the chorus of this song was born, as if the thick clouds had cleared.Faith like a sharp blade will surely cut through the darkness.
BLUE ENCOUNT
This song has the passion that we want you to hear, especially in this day and age.
Please take in our “sincerity.”
