The Inside Scoop on “Angra Gekijou feat. nqrse”
Let’s dive into some behind-the-scenes stories! DYES IWASAKI, who has previously provided music for nqrse (pronounced ‘naruse’), hesitated to approach him for a collaboration with “FAKE TYPE.”, fearing a rejection. However, last year, during the creation of “Crazy Raccoon’s” theme song “CR ANTHEM,” nqrse himself proposed working together.
The title “Angra Gekijou” has a bit of history. Back in the day (and maybe even now?), there was a music submission platform called “Underground Theaterz.” It’s where Top Ham Hat Kyo (Tophamhat Kyo) and DYES IWASAKI first crossed paths. Essentially, it’s the root of “FAKE TYPE.” The song embodies this origin. When they asked nqrse for a verse, they didn’t go into details, but somehow, nqrse just got it and wrote about his own roots. DYES IWASAKI was amazed by nqrse’s lyrical communication skills and intuitive understanding. The final product was exactly what they wanted, prompting a thrilled reaction, “This is it! Exactly this!” Surprisingly, this was their first collab, and the duo from “FAKE TYPE.”, out of respect and a bit of shyness, were like, “Hey, let’s connect again sometime.”
