Principal

RiRuRu

誰もいない舞台で

演じ続ける御伽噺

刻を告げる鐘の音で幕が上がる

借り物のインクで

上書きした下手な筋書き

セリフはちぐはぐ

止まない拍手はどうして?

分厚い仮面の下

息も絶え絶え

演じるのは誰のためなの?

歪んだ鏡に映ってる

この綺麗すぎる瞳は

何を見てる?

何を思ってるの?

わからないんだよ

ねぇ教えて

全部知れたら

きっと私だけの

御話が色づいてく

曖昧な気持ちと

裏腹な日々の中でも

どこかに幸せが落ちてるような気がして

デタラメな配色で塗りつぶす

古い思い出

これじゃだめなの

いつか

ほんとうの私を

見つけられるために

苦しくても高鳴る鼓動は

うるさく響くけど

やがて舞台は終わる

きっと深く青いエピローグの私は

何を見てる?

何を思ってるの?

わかりたいんだよ

ねぇ教えて

全部知れたら

きっと私だけの

御話が色づいてく

    Principal

    RiRuRu

"Principal" is a song that explores the very core of RiRuRu's artistic identity.
As the title suggests, it centers on the idea of "origin" and "fundamental principles," questioning the essence of one's own existence.

Sonically, delicate synth layers, spacious pads, and minimal beats create a sense of both stillness and tension, while the organic texture of guitar adds emotional depth, oscillating between the mechanical and the human. The restrained dynamics gradually draw the listener inward, as the transparent vocal delivery feels less like expression and more like an exposure of raw emotion, ultimately shaking the listener at their core.

As part of a project that bridges character, narrative, and music, this track serves as a defining piece that outlines RiRuRu as an artist, while also offering listeners a quiet moment to confront their own inner selves.

Artist Profile

  • RiRuRu

    An artist project derived from the SNS anime series "Dōmanbu!" produced by Talepot Inc. A girl who once struggled to speak finds her voice for the first time through acting, using it as a means to express herself. Standing between fiction and reality, she captures the subtle discomfort, loneliness, and impulses hidden in everyday life, giving shape to emotions that cannot yet be put into words. "Am I just playing a role... or is this who I really am?" "I still don't have the answer. But... I can keep asking."
