寿記 04.07.10 Kuchizuke & Shiki

.


This is our new song.


To be released on September 1st.


It's going to be the opening theme of the anime series "Shiki" on Fuji Television.


.


.


"Shiki" is a novel by Ono Fuyumi.

I used to have a hard cover copy of the whole thing right here in this very room,

And I thought to myself, "This looks very interesting, but I'll read it after I finish reading Tokyo Ibun."

So I kept putting off reading it.

Tokyo Ibun is also an Ono Fuyumi novel.

.

Then the novel "Shiki" got made into a manga drawn by Fujisaki Ryuu, and then into the television anime series.

I have every volume of the manga series "Houshin Engi," also drawn by Fujisaki Ryuu.


.

So then I read the manga for "Shiki."

It was really good.

...but....really....scary!

So scary, there were parts where I wanted to shout aloud "oh god, this is too fucking scary!"

.

.

I started making "Kuchizuke" after I read the manga.

Alone, in my basement room.

It was scary.

I kept worrying what I would see if I turned around...

.

The image I was trying to paint with this song is "the night with no dawn."

The working title for it was "Prologue."

I think I made something that's both strong, violent, and melodious.

A song full of junk sounds, and sweeeeet sounds.

.

The anime starts airing on July 8th.

...I'm really excited.

.

But still, a song I wrote, as the opening theme for the work of Ono Fuyumi and Fujisaki Ryuu...

It's just, amazing, really.

.


So this picture was taken at the site of the "Kuchizuke" PV filming...

.

.

...? ...wait...I think you can see something that looks like people...

Though it wasn't a place that people could get to...

Well, whatever.
