A little bit about the origin of the project's name. There was a movie called "Missing" where Jack Raymonds and CC Spencer played leading characters. The theme of the movie was about finding a missing person, a direct meaning of the word. The project's name: Missing Heart implies "disappeared" or "lost" from the title of their debut album "Mystery." However, word "miss" has another connotation like in "I miss you" which symbolizes a feeling of love. Its name suggests mysterious image overlapped with a soft mood of love.
