Lyrics

Japanese

明けゆく世界を祈り続ける 

冷えた手のひら握って 熱を探していた 
最後に強く抱き合った感触 
それだけを安らぎに生きていた 

こうして光が絶える事さえ 
運命だったと言い聞かせるの? 

果てなき空を 赤く染め上げ 
正義をかざす者達 
残塊と化す世界を 誰が望むの 
無数の微笑み犠牲にして 

もう永遠に帰らぬ君の 
欠片を拾い集めた 
二人出会ったこの地で 
いつか夢見た 明けゆく世界を祈り続ける 

Romaji

akeyuku sekai wo inori tsuzukeru

mieta tenohira nigitte netsu wo sagashiteita
saigo ni tsuyoku daki atta kanshoku
sore dake wo yasurugi ni ikiteita

kou shite hikari ga taeru koto sae
unmei datta to ii kikaseru no?

hatenaki sora wo akaku some age

zankai to kasu sekai wo dare ga nozomu no
musuu no hohoemi gisei ni shite

futari deatta kono chi de
itsuka yume mita akeyuku sekai wo inori tsuzukeru

Continuing to pray for the dawning world ────


This is the IIDX version of our song "ALFARSHEAR", which was written for the pre-order bonus DVD of GOLI's 1st artbook "GOLIALIZZE GOLI MATSUMOTO ARCHIVES".
Somehow, GOLI decided its title!
It's read as "ALFARSHEAR ~Futatsukamui ni mawaru yume~". It's cool, isn't it?

Although it's TЁЯRA's fourth song in the IIDX series, continuing from "DoLL", "ULTiM∧TE", and "EDEN", actually, this song's world connects to "ULTiM∧TE".
The protagonist in "ULTiM∧TE" is a man, but the woman who that man happened to meet = the protagonist in "ALFARSHEAR".
(In terms of the timeline, it's "ALFARSHEAR" → "ULTiM∧TE".)

This also applies to "Why did you go away", but recently, I'd often like to depict not just the protagonist, but their partner's psychology and background.
There's a reality reflected in the protagonist's eyes... but I'd like to further understand the "reasoning" part of their "why is that so?".
By depicting unpredictable parts of a world only seen by the protagonist, I'd like you to notice their partner's existence as well.
And by comparing both sides, I'd be happy if you can get a better sense of the protagonist's various thoughts.
.... jun's lyrics always seem to be linked to her mental state at that time, but perhaps now's such a time. ────


The sky turns crimson, and the world decays.

Why do I continue to depict dreams?
Why do I continue to pray....?

.... Even if a sad reality was buried in a place I noticed.


A new story starts from there.

NAOKI MAEDA

In order to keep up with GOLI's drawings and jun's strong worldview depicted in the lyrics, I created this song based on my own sound and added a touch of what I thought was majestic.
The game version was arranged differently to the DVD version, and I re-composed parts of the song which suited the game by replacing all the drum parts, adding trance-styled synths, and mixing it to make it more edgy and speedy.

In Japan, "J-POP" is the most popular and widespread genre in demand, so to what extent can I use heavy themes and comfortably fuse them in a high dimension without losing its pop feeling?
I want to express this sound, as I currently have strong ideas about it... this song makes me think about this.

Video Production Information

GOLI

I unreasonably asked the busy TЁЯRA duo to write this song for my artbook's bonus DVD.

"ALFARSHEAR" was specially arranged for DistorteD, and was changed into a more high powered song. I requested for this song to be a bonus for my artbook, and when I listened to the completed song on the opening day, all I could say to NAOKI was "it's amazing.".

The information content in this masterpiece was 100 times greater than the scale of my image of it, which blew my mind, I finally calmed down when I repeatedly listened to it on maximum volume that night (while wearing headphones, of course), and as I somehow slightly got used to it, I was moved to tears. Seriously.

Since then, I always played this song while editing my artbook. Thanks to that, my brush is also groovy. I'm sincerely really glad that the TЁЯRA duo wrote this song.

I'd like to take this opportunity to once again thank them both very much. Thank you very much.
