The latest release! The insert song "Mountain" in "OPUS: My Heart Loves the Mountain"!
The insert song "Mountain" in this work was written by the well-known lyricist mpi. He has written English lyrics and sang for many works such as "Attack on Titan", "Seven Deadly Sins: All Cursed by Light", "Mobile Suit Gundam NT", "Mobile Suit Gundam Shining Hathaway", "Promea", etc., and is deeply loved by music fans all over the world.
Regarding this creation, lyricist mpi shared his thoughts:
I feel very honored to be a part of such a wonderful production.
When writing lyrics, I kept thinking - what process did the protagonist go through to get here? Why is this journey necessary for him? - To understand the meaning of these questions requires very in-depth thinking.
Through this process, I deeply felt that the entire production team attached great importance to the philosophical aspect of the story, which moved me very much.
After many discussions with Josiah, I think we came up with a lyric that made perfect sense.
I hope that through music, I can resonate with you when playing this game.
The singer invited MARTIN JOHNSON, the lead singer of the Japanese folk rock band OAU.OAU (Overground Acoustic Underground) is a very representative band in Japan. It is also well-known for singing the theme song "帰り道 (Way Home)" of the Japanese drama "Yesterday's Food".
