mani mani

Maika Loubté's album "mani mani" was released on Wednesday, October 18, 2023. This mini-album contains seven tracks, including the previously released singles "Ice Age," "Rainbow Light Eyes," "Inner Child," and "A+B=C." The album's title, "mani mani," is inspired by the ancient Japanese word which means "as it comes" or "in accordance with." This term is drawn from the phrase "Kami no mani mani" in the famous collection of classical Japanese poetry, *Hyakunin Isshu*, and carries a positive connotation of accepting the natural course of events, particularly those beyond one's control. In this rapidly changing and uncertain era, the album encourages listeners to trust in their own lives and to find joy and fulfillment in living each moment as it comes, embracing the process with confidence.
