UPDATE in PROGRESS Front Cover

Lyric

Despire

REiNa

Cold light dripping from the ceiling

Another truth I never chose

Every smile feels like a weapon

Every word just overloads

I kept running from the mirror

But it always knows my name

There’s a shadow getting clearer

Whispering I’m the one to blame

壊れそうな心 嘘ひとつ

強がるほど堕ちて、堕ちて

I despise the way I’m breathing

Like I borrowed someone’s air

All this noise I keep believing

Never really takes me there

If I fall into the silence

Will I finally feel alive?

I despise this quiet violence

Eating me up inside

Streetlights flicker like a warning

But I’m already too far gone

Every night feels like a rerun

Of a war I never won

Tried to bury every weakness

Under words I couldn’t say

Still the voice of my secrets

Finds a darker way to stay

消えない想い 嘘ふたつ

塞いだまま ずっと、ずっと

I despise the way I’m breathing

Like I borrowed someone’s air

All this noise I keep believing

Never really takes me there

If I fall into the silence

Will I finally feel alive?

I despise this quiet violence

Eating me up inside

Maybe I’m not broken just divided

Pieces drifting out of phase

If I face the fear I’ve hidden

Will the darkness lose its place?

I despise the lie I’m keeping

But it’s all I’ve ever known

Still a fragile hope is sleeping

Somewhere underneath the stone

If the night stops suffocating

Maybe I’ll learn how to heal

I despise this hesitation

But at least I finally feel

REiNa 6th Album UPDATE in PROGRESS is a work built around the themes of a self that continues to change and a story that never truly ends.

Rather than depicting completion or arrival, the album explores emotions that remain unfinished impulses still in motion and the thoughts of ones own existence within a world that is constantly being updated.

While bringing a more emotional and rock-driven sound to the forefront than previous works, the album retains REiNas signature electronic textures.
Impulsive energy and lyrical melodies intersect, revealing fragments of a restless and ever-shifting heart.

From the hard-hitting opening tracks to the melodic and sentimental pieces that unfold in the latter half, the album expands REiNas recurring motifs of night and stars from multiple perspectives.

Built upon the trajectory of the past, this sixth album captures REiNa in motion continuing to mark new updates as the story moves toward its next chapter.
