In a time of turmoil, each justice clashes violently. Mixed emotions about their pasts and hidden feelings. The way she fulfills her beliefs is messy, clumsy, and beautiful at the same time. I’m really happy that I was able to express this passion with WurtS in the song “BURN”. We hope that you will once again enjoy the wonderful work of “Rurouni Kenshin” as well as the songs.
■WurtS comment
I’m really honored to be able to work with yama on this wonderful work called “Rurouni Kenshin.” I felt a sense of sympathy for both of them because they both hide their true faces in their activities, and how they approach their singing voices, works, and expressions. “BURN” uses “inner passion” as the key to express the feelings hidden within Mami Shishio and Kenshin Himura, and the clash of emotions that gradually heat up. I would be happy if this song could become an emotional trigger that makes you stand up again and again.
