Released as the first single from the February 2025 album ATAK027 ANDROID OPERA MIRROR, "I Come from the Moon (Android Opera ver.)" was originally composed by Keiichiro Shibuya for GUCCI's 2022 short film KAGUYA BY GUCCI. With over 1.48 million views on YouTube, this track has become a symbolic soundtrack.
For Shibuya's Android Opera theatre work, "I Come from the Moon (Android Opera ver.)," orchestration, piano, vocals, and electronic elements have been recreated. The lyrics, newly generated by GPT to align with the opera's concept, reflect a fantastical theme of an android contemplating the moon in the face of the world's end. This track unfolds a dynamic soundscape where electronic sounds blend seamlessly with orchestration, enriched by dub-inspired beats and cinematic strings.
