Tomorrow never dies~

I think there are people who don't understand how precious life is, it's not something you're taught about at school. "There will be something good if you keep living", sometimes they don't think about it, there might only be bad things. But if one asked, "Will I be at ease if I die?" I think there's no such thing. However, I haven't thought of how I want them to feel after listening to this song. I just sing about what's in my mind. -RUKI

Interview [fragments] about TOXIC

“About the melody, for the whole band rather than playing it frantically vigorous, it’s more about where in this song it can be called as show-like. While playing it, I thought it would be good if this song has capability to make people dance. The moment I received the song, it was a song which immediately filled my head with how we want to present this song in live or PV. That’s why for the arrangement, I made the outcome really simple. My decision to make phrases that can still be played while dancing, whether it’s right or not, I think it can be verified at the next live’s place.” — Aoi about THE SUICIDE CIRCUS, SHOXX vol. 225 (via theuntitledmelody)

.....

“We barely made it, but because we ought to clear it up somehow we managed to do it. It was considerably a tough song.” — Kai about PSYCHOPATH, SHOXX vol. 225 (via theuntitledmelody)

.....

By the way, about [MY DEVIL ON THE BED], the subject of the lyrics is altogether filled up to the limit by erotic expression, I've been thinking about that point, too.
RUKI: Aa, because this is purely a SEX song (laughs).
-- So blunt (laughs).
RUKI: Because to convey about what meaning which exists in such song is also somewhat.... . Both the song and the sounds, it had an erotic feeling.
-- Sounds which has sex appeal for all the members.
RUKI: Right, right. That's why I thought there's no other choice than to make it a SEX song to the end. I'm saying this as a joke (laughs).

.....

-- And just like that, it somehow became a beautiful song. [about UNTITLED]
RUKI: When it comes to ballads, up until now there have been a lot of songs that are generally agonizing (laughs). But only for this one, it's a song that I wrote while being reminded of the peaceful and unduly wide night sky.
Aoi: He's a poet, as one would expect.

.....

-- From the lyric aspect, PSYCHOPATH seems to be a song which digs up and exposes something under a broad daylight.
RUKI: That's right. To say it in one word, what's in here is a soul's scream. But it isn't just talking about deep matters. This time, in the booklet there's translation printed side by side with the original lyrics. So to start with, looking at it will be the quick way.

.....

-- It seems like this song was made and directed towards the fan and listeners. The strong and warm message resounds frankly and it is great.[about TOMORROW NEVER DIES]
RUKI: This was made as it is so that it is directed to everyone. I wanted to put this song at the very end this time.

.....

-- This ending SE, it's something Uruha-kun made.[about OMEGA]
Uruha: Yes. Ruki said he wanted a chaotic SE that seems like everything will break apart, so I put the sounds together this way.
RUKI: A digital world that ends in short (circuit). That was the image.
