The expansive resonance of the piano drifts gently, blending with the surrounding sounds. Rather than presenting only the sound of instruments, Hirano carefully incorporates the atmosphere of the space and the subtle traces embedded in everyday life, transforming “imperfection” into a living form of expression.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eHis unadorned approach―capturing impulses that emerge naturally―and his unique sensitivity to the surrounding environment remain central to his enduring aesthetic. In The Habit, an intimate and melodic resonance, nurtured through long years and days steeped in sound, quietly breathes. Within it lingers a soft warmth and a modest, understated beauty.\n    \u003cspan style=\"color: rgb(34, 34, 34); font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003e\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: rgb(34, 34, 34); margin: 0px 0px 19.4444px; line-height: 1.75em; font-family: Open Sans, sans-serif; font-size: 14px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; white-space: normal; background-color: rgb(238, 238, 238); text-decoration-thickness: initial; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\n    \u003c\/p\u003e\u003ciframe src=\"https:\/\/bandcamp.com\/EmbeddedPlayer\/album=675157717\/size=large\/bgcol=ffffff\/linkcol=0687f5\/tracklist=false\/artwork=small\/track=3651761300\/transparent=true\/\" seamless=\"\" style=\"box-sizing: border-box; margin: 2em 0px; border: 0px; width: 530px; height: 120px;\"\u003e\u003c\/iframe\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n    Tracklist\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box;\"\u003e\n\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\n    A1.
