Rather than being just a producer this time, I had a strong collaboration sense, so I asked Noria to collaborate in this song's production from the rather rough arrangement stage.

All the lyrics and rhymes were written by Noria herself. Even during studio work, we exchanged opinions about takes and harmonies on equal footing, and as a result, I think it showed her different charm than before. In that sense, I would be happy if everyone accepts the music and video without preconceptions, not as "Noria Shiraishi of BeForU", but as the new artist "Noria".

Of course I didn't touch the movie, but I heard Noria also had an idea based on VJ SHIRO's concept, which played out brilliantly. It's a song I really like which combines the entertainment of music, visuals, and games. For more information about this song, I want to introduce it on the [https://web.archive.org/web/20150507131356fw_/http://www.konami.jp/am/bm2dx/bm2dx7/songs_glorious.html game's official site], so by all means, please look forward to it there.

I decided to sing with this feeling. I wonder if this is nice? (laughs) (Yeah, it's nice. by dj.TAKA) GLORIA is a soothing song which makes me imagine a very mysterious and beautiful church. I couldn't imagine what kind of orchestra would go with HIPHOP... Moreover, not only rap, but also singing the melody line... Hmm~... I thought about the lyrics that TAKA said had a "dual personality" theme, while the orchestra was completed. I was surprised when I listened to the orchestra! It had a cool HIPHOP sound while maintaining the beauty of GLORIA! I said, "I have to do my best for this!!!", while fired up.

I had already written lyrics for BeForU songs, but anyways, I was quite worried because it was "all about Noria". So, it's what I wanted to say, but something came to my mind, although it strangely didn't come at all (laughs). The theme of the lyrics, "dual personality", is that the rap song is me on the surface, and the sung part is me in a corner of my heart. That's the image. I actively live in the reality of a dirty world against myself, although I only know the world from a beautiful perspective. But I'm desperate to find my true self. My appearance is hot, and my active self continues sending messages to my heart. These are my feelings. There's even a movie created, which links with these amazing lyrics. The production staff also took great care of the lyrics, and included these "feelings" in two minutes. By all means, please play "Glorius days". Please also watch the movie carefully.

I wonder how everyone feels about Noria's first work??? I thought it would be nice to show that I worked hard to create this song. By all means, please try to play it♪
