■ Comment from LiSA
I will be in charge of the opening theme for “NieR:Automata Ver1.1a”.
When I heard that “NieR:Automata,” which has been loved all over the world for so long, was going to be made into an anime, I was one of the people who was excited and delighted. It’s a work I love.
This time, we were entrusted with a “black box” by Akita-san of amazarashi, who has been deeply involved with Nier.
I sang with my heart empathizing with their emotions, which were so pure and beautiful that they made my heart ache.
Please join us in listening to the music and watching their story through to the very end.

■Amazarashi Hiromu Akita Comment
We provided the opening theme song “Black Box” sung by LiSA.
This is the third time I’ve composed a song for “NieR:Automata,” and as a fan of the NieR series, I’m very honored.
I think LiSA’s singing voice was able to express more vividly the emotion and sentimentality of the merciless world that 2B sees.
I’m confident about this song, so please give it a listen.
I hope that this song will be etched in everyone’s hearts along with their memories of NieR:Automata Ver1.1a.
