Lyrics

Japanese

不意に見上げた夜空には
不気味なほどの
LAZY CRAZY MOON

いつでもロマンティックで
そのくせ破滅的な
俺たちの恋はサスペンス
果てても果てしなく
燃え盛る本能
心と身体のラビリンス

背中の傷と赤い爪
野性と情熱の証

瞳と唇で 愛は貪り合うもの
胸の痛みさえエルドラド
究極のエゴイストも
仮面を剥ぎとれば
ハートは孤独に震えてる

Video Production Information

HiWA

My name is HiWA, and I am a professional illustrator and video artist.
This time, the video is a straightforward story of a guitarist astride a motorcycle who rescues a heroine from a villain.
I developed the image from the beginning of the lyrics, "Suddenly looking up at the night sky".
Don't let the tears spill...sadness is the shadow of the moon... such is Q.

This is totally unrelated, but speaking of Konami, the "Castlevania" series is great.
I've been a fan since the Disk System days, and the first Super Famicom one is probably my favorite.
The background music is cool, as well as the profound graphics.
Personally, I would like to see a song from it included in Gitadora.
I think Bloody Tears can be played on a guitar too.
