"Goodbye."
This poignant track, which recorded many views on TikTok, returns with a fresh voice and a brand-new arrangement.
Originally included in Ryu's 3rd album Next Step as a Vocaloid (Hatsune Miku) track, the song will be reborn and released on March 7th as "When this love would end ('26ver) feat. NAMI", featuring the virtual AI vocalist, NAMI. Through unadorned and straightforward lyrics, the song captures realistic scenes-from the confusion of a sudden goodbye to the feelings that rush in at midnight.
Written and composed by Ryu, having the AI vocalist sing this original track brings out its underlying sorrow 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 hoping the pain will eventually turn into a memory.
Ryu started DTM in university and has been creating mainly songs that he wants to listen to. Based on J-POP, his songs feature lyrical melodies and carefully written lyrics about joy and sadness, combined with the natural singing of Hatsune Miku in a sad but easy-to-hear way. The song Groove of Love from his 6th album was used as a commercial song for the Spoon app.
