Can you tell us about the songs Lacrimosa and Gloria?
Yuki: Lacrimosa was the ending theme for the anime series “Kuroshitsuji” (Black Butler), and since the series had some religious elements to it, I interpreted that view into my music. I wanted this song to have a strong energy to live even inside sadness. Gloria is about a very happy couple who has now decided to live together. But some people have pointed out that it doesn’t sound happy because of the sad melody line (laughs). Wakana: Lacrimosa is a song about the passionate shouting spirit. It’s got a clear contrast, and it could sound either “calm” or in “motion”. Gloria is about the silent sorrow, and also the passion deep inside the heart. Keiko: I fell in love with Lacrimosa when I first heard it! I remember that the melody line smoothly soaked in. It was the first time to sing so strongly with Wakana, so that was a very fresh feeling for me. And Gloria is actually perhaps my favorite song. I’ve always enjoyed listening to simple, acoustic songs, like piano & vocals, or acoustic
