Back when I created this album, the EMPRESS project was already active, and its concept was already decided.

Well basically, I created Denjin K to only have dark-styled songs until the middle of its production, so when I considered my next song concept, I thought somehow one song deeply shined among those in the album, and I created JEWELLERY STORM as a new song.

The song's vocalist, Eriko Tanzawa, was introduced to me from Maiko Horisawa's request, who previously sung in IIDX and greatly assisted in Denjin K's production, and as I wrote above, when I suddenly decided to include this song, there's usually around a 2 week preparation period before recording the vocals and writing the lyrics, but this time, the recording took around a week to prepare.

My impression when I first listened to this song was "it's rare!". It has a bright melody, a female Vo., and Japanese lyrics... it's quite rare among L.E.D.'s songs to have this taste after a long time, right? However, in contrast to its cute image, the notecharts have fast BPM and high density, so it'll require quite some physical strength. The rhythms in the first half are difficult to understand, so let's perfectly learn them by carefully listening to this song in the soundtrack!

It has a bright melody, a female Vo., and Japanese lyrics... it's quite rare among L.E.D.'s songs to have this taste after a long time, right? This is a very fresh and speedy song, with a matching pop and cute movie.

I heard that this theme is EMPRESS, so there's "girl power" in full force! I tried to create the movie like this.

"Can you hear it? The nostalgic voice I heard that day..." gave me an idea of the memories of a lovely couple from the beginning with the lyrics, looking back to a large number of photos taken.
