Alice: The Collection of Midnight Thoughts

Alice: The Collection of Midnight Thoughts (often referred as "A Collection of Midnight Thoughts", as in the EP), simply known as "Alice Album", is the 1st studio concept album of Ryujin Ayato. Born as a full extension of his first EP "Midnight Thoughts", "Alice" features a more sorrowful, mellow pop/RnB-like structure with a softer engagement.

The album was released in June 2023, and also spawns a Japan-exclusive EP "夜の所感" (Midnight Thoughts) within the same week, which features the 3 Japanese-titled tracks in the album (Kimi no Na Wa/君の名は? (What's Your Name?), Kokoro no Tenkyou/心の天国 (Kingdom of Hearts), and Hari no Mushiro/針のむしろ (Bed of Rose Thorns)), as well as Under The Pine Trees (released under the title "Matsu no Shita/松の下")

Background and History
The album took references and ideas from the 1951 film "Alice in Wonderland", the 2008 "Alice in the Country of Hearts", as well as the 1871 novel "Through the Looking-Glass".
