VICTORY (English)

This track VICTORY was born from a single painting that overlays the tronie Kurosaki Yuuka with the Winged Victory of Samothrace

Once the goddess of victory Nike was chosen as the motif, the theme of VICTORY became inevitable

But what does victory truly mean
Is it about defeating someone else
Yuuka, who has been given wings, arrives at a different answer
To understand the meaning of those wings and to have the courage to use them
To turn even the wind that once inspired fear into strength and move forward

This painting was created while repeatedly listening to the Queen of the Night aria from Mozart The Magic Flute
That overwhelming and virtuosic voice moves the heart beyond the meaning of words
This work seeks to create a piece that moves emotion not through language, but through the power of the voice itself

When Yuuka becomes Nike, spreads her wings, and catches the wind, what will she cry out
The lyrics were shaped directly from the voice of Yuuka that seemed to emerge from the painting
The latter half was composed with the image of her flying freely through the sky

These two versions of VICTORY were created in this way and are released simultaneously in English and Japanese on April 13, the birthday of the artist

This track is also a piece meant to encourage and push forward a self that has begun to feel a sense of fatigue
