■ “I hope it will touch upon memories of regret that everyone has.” (Aquarium)
Suisan will release his first physical EP “Lanthanoids” on June 5th. The music video for the track “Literature Lecture feat. Aizawa” was also premiered.
This EP contains four songs, including “Lanthanoids,” the ending theme of the anime “Ryu-zoku -The Blazing Dawn-.” The first-press limited edition will include a limited number of “Lanthanoids stickers” with the CD, while the limited-edition edition will include a Blu-ray with music videos of the songs and the non-credit ending video of the anime “Ryu-zoku -The Blazing Dawn-” in addition to the CD, and is a digipack with a mini poster.
The first track, “Lanthanoids,” was written by Suiso for the anime “Ryu-zoku -The Blazing Dawn-,” and features diary-like lyrics spun in a tone that sounds like he’s talking to the main character, Lu Mingfei. The sound is wrapped around the entire song with a gentle guitar, and the crisp beat and elegant melody make it a modern yet nostalgic song. The second track, “Rerun,” is a pairing with the title track, “Lanthanoids,” with Suiso’s high-speed rap and stoic drum and bass tracks intertwined in a complex way.
The third track, “Literature Lecture feat. Aizawa,” features a light exchange with featured vocalist Aizawa and a rhythmic vocal that traces the rhythm of the conversation, set against an acoustic and refreshing sound image that makes you feel the beginning of summer. It is a traditional duet song with an impressive guitar that brings out the sad lyrics that leave you feeling after reading them, and is sprinkled with quotations from literary works. The fourth track, “NAVY,” is a song in which yuigot, a member of PAS TASTA and known for his unique sound making, participated in beat making, mixing, and production. The complex, light, and inorganic track is combined with the rhyming and iconic flow of the aquarium’s rap and emotional singing to create a song that leaves a lasting impression.
The music video for “Literature Lecture feat. Aizawa” that has just been released has artwork that conveys the unpleasant atmosphere and obsession disguised as indifference that is associated with the song’s lyrics, and is a lyric video with motifs of manuscript paper and image novels.
■Aquarium Comments
It’s really tough when you feel disillusioned, but the other person has always been like that, you just didn’t see it and it’s just that you were hoping for that.
I hope it will touch upon memories of regret that we all have.
