School Days (feat. NAMI) ['26 ver]

"Goodbye, my school days."
Born on a pedestrian bridge in Shibuya, this track captures the realistic scenes of a student's life coming to an end, returning now with a fresh voice and a brand-new arrangement.

Originally included in Ryu's 1st album melodies as a Vocaloid (Hatsune Miku) track, the song will be reborn and released on March 11th as "School Days ('26ver) feat. NAMI", featuring the virtual AI vocalist, NAMI. Ryu wrote this song on a pedestrian bridge in Shibuya exactly when he graduated from university. Through unadorned and straightforward lyrics, it captures that somewhat anti-climactic feeling of ending student life, alongside life-sized scenes like cherry blossoms after the rain.

Written and composed by Ryu, having the AI vocalist sing this original track brings out its nostalgia more directly. The lyrical and emotional melody reaches a new step thanks to the fresh arrangement and the expressive AI vocals that differ distinctly from the original Vocaloid version.

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 poignant tale of a protagonist stepping out of familiar ticket gates to begin a new journey.
