Story Background
The musical ‘Forever Love’ serves as a prequel to the story of the Tyrannosaurus Rex father in ‘You Look Delicious,’ recounting the sweet yet bitter past between him—known as ‘Ryota’ in his childhood—and his loving mother, a慈母 dragon. Content The story begins in the Cretaceous period (65 million years ago), at a valley and jungle located at longitude -119.53125 and latitude 47.575625, rich in vegetation and food. The trees here are tall, and when the sun shines, it creates a rich interplay of light and shadow through the gaps in the trees. For the first time as a mother, the慈母 dragon named Ami finds a baby dinosaur egg in a red fruit forest. Concerned that the egg would be in danger without a mother’s care, Ami places it beside her own baby, treating it as her own and caring for it with great diligence. Unexpectedly, the egg hatches to reveal the most ferocious carnivorous dinosaur—the Tyrannosaurus Rex! Ami decides to return the baby, but as she is about to leave, she is halted by its cries. Facing immense opposition from all members of the慈母 dragon clan, Ami keeps him and vows never to abandon him, naming him Ryota—hoping he will be kind-hearted, while her own child is named Kota. Concealing the truth that Ryota is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, as time passes, both children grow up happily day by day. Ryota is completely different from his慈母 dragon brother, with sharp claws, pointed teeth, and rough skin. Kota, after hearing from other慈母 dragons, jokes with his brother that he is a Tyrannosaurus Rex, only to be reprimanded by their mother! Joking about one’s brother is not acceptable! Later, as Ryota grows up, he takes on the responsibility of finding red fruits for his mother and brother. One day, Ryota encounters a strange aunt in the forest who looks very much like him. She tells Ryota that she and he are of the same kind—Tyrannosaurus Rex, and that he eats慈母 dragons. Ryota finds this hard to believe… What should Ryota do? Should he stay with Ami as a ‘strange’慈母 dragon, or leave his mother and brother to become an invincible Tyrannosaurus Rex?… ‘Forever Love’ tells of the greatness of the慈母 dragon mother and allows children to feel the priceless nature of family bonds, that love can surpass everything! The love of parents for their children is the greatest, most sincere, and longest-lasting. This love transcends space, time, and even, as in the story, race. True love knows no boundaries; come and feel the love that transcends race between the慈母 dragon mother and the young Tyrannosaurus Rex!
