Lyric

"If you pull me close, I wouldn't be able to say a word..."
A fast-paced, upbeat J-Pop track capturing the complex psychology of a woman putting up a strong front out of love.

Originally included in Ryu's 7th album Kioku as a Vocaloid (Hatsune Miku) track, the song will be reborn and released on July 24th as "Gaze ('26ver) feat. NAMI", featuring the virtual AI vocalist, NAMI. With lyrics by Mii and composition by Ryu, this track features highly-praised lyrics written from a female perspective, inspired by listening to the real experiences and feelings of women.

Wandering eyes at a smartphone notification, lacking the confidence of being loved, and putting up a strong front. The song paints a painfully real picture of the complex emotions, anxiety, and the secret desire to be spoiled that stem simply from loving someone too much, expressed through unadorned and straightforward words.

Retaining its highly empathetic and lyrical melody, the track evolves into a polished, modern J-Pop anthem driven by a fast-paced 165 BPM beat and funky rhythmic guitars. Having the expressive AI vocalist sing this original composition brings out the song's emotional core more directly, elevating it to an entirely new level.

The jacket artwork once again features Moka Komorebi, who serves as the visual muse across several of Ryu's albums. Showing a different facet of her expressions with each release, her presence beautifully complements this tale of a protagonist swaying between anxiety, stubbornness, and hidden affection.
