RED
Ultra-high-energy melodic cello metal, BPM 200. Double-time feel throughout. Constant 16th-note drive (no half-time). Intro REQUIRED: instrumental only, NO human voice sounds. ONLY two cellos and drums. NO piano/keys/synth/pads/guitars/bass. Rhythm cello: constant low 16th-note chug + tremolo bowing, NEVER stops. Lead cello: minimal in verses, huge melodic lines in choruses. Drums: kick-driven, relentless. Constant fast hi-hat/cymbal motion, no halftime, no tempo drops. Vocals: clean, fully sung. NO speech/narration/half-sung. NO shouting/screams. Strong attack + long sustained endings. Final chorus = climax extension. Maintain max intensity to the last note. No fade-out.

Lyrics
カラーシリーズ
第二弾は「赤」です。
はい。自称チェロメタルです。ただのハードチェロロックですｗ
この曲作る前、とても重たい風邪に悩まされてホントに引退しようかすら考える位落ち込んでましたが、色々なエネルギーを新年最初の曲のコメントでもらいました。
まだまだ辞められないよ！って気持ちの100％が入った曲です。
元から、赤という言葉は一切使わずに赤を表現するってのだけは決めてたので、そんな歌詞にしてますが、聴くエナジードリンクってイメージで作ってます。
今度こそ皆さんのとこ徐々に伺ってます～

The Color Series, Part 2: "RED". That's right—it's Cello Metal.
Before working on this track, I was suffering from a really nasty cold. I was feeling so down that, to be honest, I even considered retiring. But the comments on my first song of the year gave me so much energy. This song is packed with 100% of my determination: "I can't quit yet!"
From the start, I had one rule: to express "Red" without using the word "red" a single time in the lyrics. I created this track with the image of "an energy drink for your ears."
P.S. The English lyrics are listed after the Japanese lyrics.
歌詞 ーーー 鬼凛(Kirin)
-------------------------------
なんか迷ってる事ってあるよね？？
悩んで動けなくなってることはないかな？？
さあ、無意味なリミッターは外していくよ
迷いが追い付かなくなる位、すべてを超越して
自分の常識も、限界も壊してしまおうか！
このガーネットのような海にダイブして、燃え上がるように
Unlock the meaningless limiters set by myself
（自分でかけてしまった 無意味なリミッターは全て解除してしまおう）
限界を感じるな、感情の昂りを止めてはいけない
From here on out, no meaningless safety color in sight
（ここから先にセーフティーカラーは存在しない）
自分を中心に考えてみようか
そこから何メートルまでは制御できるかな？
推進力を止めないように、
自分も人も周りすら巻き込んで
辞める理由を先に考えては決してダメなんだ
さあ、何キロメートルまで制御してしまおうか！
How many gears have we got left?
（後、何段ギアは上げられる？）
Is that your limit? Is that your best?
（まだまだ全開じゃないよね！？）
止められない、止まらない、
まだまだもっと先に行けるよね！
自分だけの常識で立ち止まってしまうのは
間違っている可能性の方がとてもとても高いから！
セーフティーカラーなんてまっぴらごめん
熱量を下げずに進んでいくよ！
心拍も鼓動も上げてごらん！
この衝動は誰にも止められない
内なる力に限界を感じず
この熱量の先に何があるか確かめにいこうか！
このガーネットのような、昂る熱量を感じ
Leave safety behind, infinite emotions, impulse of no return
（安全より先に、無限の感情を抱えて、引き返せない衝動）
これを罰するよりも早く、自分の常識にも捕らわれず、
Let's burn it deeper, deeper than anyone else!
（誰よりも深く深く燃え上がらせてみようか）
熱量をどんどん上げて行こう
自分を止めてきたのは
結局は自分自身なんだよ
Burn it up hot, don't let it stop!
Boil up your mind, ignite your actions!
（熱く燃え上がらせろ止めさせないように、思いを行動をたぎらせ）
今居る、その場を揺らめき立たせようじゃないか
決して、誰にも限界だと思われないように
その常識で自分を止めるなんて辞めよう
この思いは誰にも制御されないよ
ブレーキをかけずに全開で進んでいく
もう、むやみに止まることはないと、
このノーセーフティーな色を信じて 染められたんだから！！
熱量をあげて行こう！！
限界を超えてもっと
前へ！！ 前へ！！
前へ！！ 前へ！！

ENGLISH lyrics

You ever feel lost, don't you? Ever feel stuck, unable to move?
Come on, let's remove those meaningless limiters.
Go so fast that hesitation can't catch up, transcend it all. Let's shatter your own common sense and break your limits!
Dive into this sea of garnet and burn like fire. Unlock the meaningless limiters set by myself Don't feel the limit. Don't stop the surge of emotion. From here on out, no meaningless safety color in sight
Try thinking with yourself at the center. From there, how many meters can you control?
Don't stop the propulsion. Drag yourself, others, and everything around you into it. Never look for reasons to quit before you start.
Come on, let's take control for kilometers!
How many gears have we got left? Is that your limit? Is that your best? Unstoppable, won't stop. We can go much, much further!
Stopping just because of your own "common sense"... The chances are very, very high that you're wrong!
I'm done with safety colors. I'm moving forward without lowering the heat! Raise your heart rate, make your pulse race! No one can stop this impulse.
Feel no limits to your inner power. Let's go see what lies beyond this heat!
Feel this rising heat, like garnet. Leave safety behind, infinite emotions, impulse of no return Faster than punishment, uncaught by your own common sense. Let's burn it deeper, deeper than anyone else!
Let's keep raising the heat. The one who has been stopping you... Was actually yourself all along.
Burn it up hot, don't let it stop! Boil up your mind, ignite your actions! Let's make the very ground we stand on tremble.
Never let anyone think this is the limit. Stop stopping yourself with that "common sense." This passion cannot be controlled by anyone. Full throttle, no brakes. I won't stop aimlessly anymore. Because I believed in this "No Safety" color... and now I'm dyed in it!!
Raise the heat!! Beyond the limits, more! Forward!! Forward!! Forward!! Forward!!
