スワロウテイル

–The flow from the intro to the start of the second song, “Swallowtail,” has a visual kei feel to it, as well as a youthful feel.

tink: “I put a lot of effort into the lyrics of this song. The better the “serious part” is, the more the humor that comes afterwards comes to life. I think that contrast is important.”

–The line, “The petals that mistakenly do not scatter, even the mere wind speaks to them,” brings to mind a scene.
The sudden appearance of the words “first interview” after that is a huge contrast.

tink: “The ‘non-scattering petals’ are people who don’t get hired during their job hunt. The petals that don’t fall and are still there are just like us who haven’t received any job offers… Incidentally, this song is connected to an older song, ‘The Society Where Flower Language is Born’.”

tacato. “The intro to this song is inspired by the strumming guitar in Kuroyume’s “Shounen.” Overall, it also gives off a Kagerou impression.”

tink: “I had an image of a sunset, and wanted to make it sound like Kagerou. So, I left the guitar part to tacato, who also likes Kagerou…”

tacato. “I struggled with this one, too. I struggled with everything. After much trial and error, I think it ended up sounding like cali≠gari.”
