Let’s begin with the introduction of new single "Luna Tears"…
I think this is classified as symphonic and power (melodic speed) metal, also near V-kei metal called in Japan.
The characteristics of this tune are the sounds of bell and strings chasing halfway through chorus, and those of strings mixed to bring to the front in 2nd verse. I made the sounds of kick and snare stood out like ordinary metal music, and also the sounds of bell and strings as well.
Besides, the way to sing of the first lyrics "Luna Tears…" in chorus is a bit unique. By the opinion of the engineer who was in charge of vocal direction, I intentionally adopted a take in which you can hear my breath. The objective opinion is good spice.
BPM is 172, which is slower than other past tunes, but you must feel so fast due to many numbers of sounds and rapid development. Specifically, the melody in bridge is so complicated that I have difficulty singing because of consecutive irregular meters such as 9/8, 7/8, 5/4, and 3/4. Also, in guitar solo, it is basically 4/4, but begins with 6/8 and changes to 7/8 for a part at the end.
Using phrases familiar to everyone are safe, so I’m afraid of composing by using unique ways. It might be an excuse that I have not learned music theory, though…
I rarely refer to existing tunes as long as I have some ideas about composing. I almost compose by my sensitivity, intuition and memory.
I came up with the idea of this tune in my dream. Strictly speaking, only the first part of chorus… It sounded clearly with my voice and it was very impressive. I reckoned I should complete it.
Mastering is my first work, although it still has shortages but it’s done the best at present. I also made a music video in the first time and it was very challenging for me. I tried to shoot a part of landscapes in France, make constitutions, add effects, and finally adjust colors and contrasts.
As much as possible… I strongly believe that I can do if someone, kind of human being, can do. Because I think so, I can try and get over. If I don’t do anything, I will not know its difficulty. Because I know the difficulty, I can thank for everything.
Oops! Forgot to talk about lyrics. Briefly, a main message is "dignifiedly"; that is "rin-to-shite" in Japanese, not including it in lyrics, but including it in the introduction sentences of this tune. Well, you can interpret as you like, as usual.
This new single is out, not through distributors and labels. Your supports are very helpful. Enjoy listening to it, watching a video, and then share it all over the world! Many thanks, all!
