About this track
“Letter from Hiro” reflects on the children who lived and died working in factories in Japan during World War II—young lives pulled into war long before they could understand it. The song centers on absence and delay: the knowledge that could have saved them, the end of the war that came too late, and the messages that never arrived when they mattered most.
The letter in the title represents what was missing—truth withheld, hope postponed, and peace delayed by distance, bureaucracy, and silence. It imagines the weight of waiting for a message that might end fear, only for reality to arrive first.
