In 2015, JUNNA entered the MUSICUBE AUDITION 2015 with VICTOR ENTERTAINMENT in YOKOHAMA, an audition hosted jointly by Victor Entertainment Inc. and radio broadcast corporation FM Yokohama. So impressed with the young singer by Victor's flying Dog sub-label, JUNNA was signed to Cube Inc. and selected to become a vocalist in the Macross Δ anime series as part of the idol group Walküre. At the age of 14, she became the youngest diva to debut in Macross's history.
In June 2017, JUNNA made her solo debut with the mini-album Vai! Ya! Vai!, containing tracks produced by the likes of artists such as veteran songwriter Komorita Minoru. The album finished at #21 on the weekly Oricon charts in its first week. It was later announced that she would release her first anime tie-in outside the Macross universe with the song "Here", the opening theme for the television anime adaptation of the fantasy manga Mahoutsukai no Yome.
the sea and a pearl
Junna Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Calling of the sea
Far over the waves
A journey started on the sea
Is such a wide and dazzling a place
Into clouds, it fades away up on the sky
A hidden story never told
Colorful imagination
Dawn is breaking
Ship is on the way
Your sweet song is still ringing in my heart
Leading with hope
To the future, sail on
Moving on to the east
Let the wind rush for the bow and speed up
Way beyond the far and distant sea that I cross
Carry on to unveil of the promised El Dorado
Here I come
Hey oh hey oh
Calling of my heart
Far over the waves
Searching the place through night and day
I know I'm not that far away
Will my innocent journey finally end?
The map has flown into the storm
I will leave it to the flow
The tomorrow I will never know
Water continues on forevermore
Straight to the sky of glistening sunlight
With longing heart I will shout and call your name
Like a bird in the sky
With the beat of wind caresses my head
Way beyond the far and distant sea that I cross
I was born to be free
Going far with all my power
Here I come
Hey oh hey oh
Craving of my heart
Raising the sails high
Shooting star, please show me the way
Wishing to see your face one more time
Far to the east
The world of the unknown
A land I have never been
My throbbing heart awakens the fire
Pierce the sea and let it glow
Hey oh hey oh
Calling of my heart
Far over the waves
Battle on to the east
With the beat of wind caresses my heart
Go beyond the far and distant sea that I cross
I can't hide from the pain
But won't let it take my dignity away
My lips carry on our love's melody
With you by my side the ship's sailing on
Hey oh hey oh hey ey oh
To the land of east

Exploring a place that is completely new
My throbbing heart awakens the fire
Feeling a sense of passion and intensity
Pierce the sea and let it glow
Breaking through obstacles to find new possibilities
