Lyric

Vocaloid producer Torque's second album, HALF WAY, will be released on October 10, 2025.

This album is a compilation of tracks previously released on YouTube and Niconico Douga, woven together as a single narrative. It marks his first album in three years. Centered around the theme of [journey], a consistent motif throughout Torque's musical career, this work explores his current position and future direction from a fresh perspective.

Entirely produced at home, the album centers on programmed beats and sampling, with Torque also taking on guitar performance and recording for some tracks. Arrangements feature distinctive ethnic musical elements like Celtic melodies, tin whistles, and acoustic guitar.

Following the previous work, IA is the main vocalist, joined by new vocalists including Hatsune Miku, Shion Teto, and flowe, enriching the diverse soundscape. Catchy melodies that stir emotions and exotic tones evoke the scenery of travel.

The music video for the track [Red Spark] is scheduled for release on the same day as the album.
