A requiem for the young warriors who died in vain and lost their lives under the ancient Japanese aesthetic of "HARAKIRI.'' This is an up-tempo Japanese rock song based on the short story "Ibun Roninki" by Yasuhiko Takiguchi (made into a movie directed by Masaki Kobayashi as "HARAKIRI"), which depicts the sad fate of being a samurai in the late Edo period. PURE is a message to always face your current self from the front. Regardless of your title, academic background, or family background, the pride you should have is to have faith in your own way of life! This is a song that inspires oneself. A unique playing method that uses the acoustic guitar to play the three roles of guitar, bass, and drums while singing. Incorporates the [MIZU playing style]. I play and sing with all my heart.
