I thought it sounded emoi (emotional), when I heard it for the first time.
Kanami: I'm glad to hear that. I wanted to convey that emo-sa (emotionality) to listeners.

Saiki: At last, it became vague about its cause.
All: (laughing)
Kanami: What I recall is this guitar solo is to express, 'My feeling is here!!'

AKANE: Following "Thrill" will be "Freezer," which focuses more on groove than intensity. Nowadays, BAND-MAID® has a strong impression of being "a band that plays intense music. That is why we wanted to show with "FREEZER" that we can take this approach as well.

Saiki: Yes, I want the listener to interpret and feel it on their own. Also, it is about AI, so making it more machine-like was an idea that was brought up. This is a song that challenged me.

— The anime has that sort of [dark] aspects so perhaps that is why Band-Maid was selected. Saiki-san, what did you keep in mind as you sang it?

Saiki: Young and old people watch the anime so I tried not to put too much emotion into it.

— But the actual story is a little dark.

Saiki: The story actually may be suited for a more mature crowd.

Kobato: The theme was given to us beforehand, we were told "Visualizing AI and Humans co-existing" so we held this concept as important when creating the song. However, this anime is popular with young boys, so we stayed away from the dark side of Band-Maid lyrics. We tr

— 2 releases from the start of the year seems like a good sign. Firstly, lets talk about "glory", was this song written specifically for "Yugio VRAINS"?

Kobato: Yes-po. We wrote it after being told it will be the ending song for the show.

sk, I didn’t intend to write a song that sounded too intense. The intro kicks off with a pretty impactful melody. The tune is easy to follow along. I inserted “ulalala” in the lyrics initially as a placeholder, and we ended up leaving it as is.

MIKU & SAIKI: We wrote the lyrics about the twin siste

Kanami: Honestly, it’s hard every time to make a 90-second version (laughs). It’s very hard to fit any song into 90 seconds. They tend to be a little too short or a little too long. When it’s too short, I can add a little more at the beginning or at the end, but when it’s too long to fit,

good solo… I believe it’s one of the highlights in the song!

Q: Yes, when I listen to it, I feel like “Here it comes!” In the end, the song turned out to be rich in dynamics and contrast in various ways, and yet it’s compact. Speaking of compactness, the 90-second version was wonderfully well put t

I worked hard on it because I believed that I would be able to level up myself by doing that. As a result, I think it turned out to be a pretty

Kanami: Thank you so much. After all, I’m very conscious of melodiousness every time I write a solo. I think how it starts out is very important. I wanted to create a melody you
