『東京喰種:硝恋』
A dark, anime-inspired rock track led by rapid, searing distorted guitars and a thick, dynamic bass underpinning. Drums propel the energy with furious, syncopated double-kick and crisp hi-hats. Verses pulse with tense, whispered vocals; dissonant pre-chorus swells. Choruses burst with wide, cavernous reverb, soaring lead vocals, and layered shouts, all underscoring a dramatic, cinematic vibe. Melodies swing between delicate fragility and explosive aggression, heightening emotional contrast and drama.

Lyrics
「普通でいたい」というささやかな願いと、グールとしての運命に引き裂かれる現実。
彼女の前に映る“鏡合わせのアイツ”
愛と憎しみが交錯し、寄り添いたいのに遠ざかっていく二人の関係を、硝子や炎、刃といった比喩で描きました。
それでも「生きたい」と叫ぶトーカの強さと切なさを込めた一曲です。
This song was created with Touka from "Tokyo Ghoul" in mind.
Her humble wish to "be normal" is torn apart by her fate as a ghoul.
She sees "that guy in the mirror" reflected before her.
I used metaphors of glass, flames, and blades to depict the relationship between the two, where love and hate intertwine, and they grow apart despite wanting to be close.
This song captures the strength and sadness of Touka, who cries out, "I want to live."
【Aメロ1】
硝子の檻に閉じ込められて
笑い声だけ 遠く響く
「普通」なんて 誰が決めた？
爪を噛んで夜を飲み込む
【Bメロ1】
情けない背中に 吐き捨てた罵声
だけど同じ影 映す鏡
壊したくて 救いたくて
火花みたいに胸が軋む
【サビ1】
鏡合わせのアイツとワタシ
好きと嫌いが絡みあう迷路
脆さは刃 優しさは炎
すれ違う声は 夜を裂くノイズ
届かぬ心を 閉ざす硝子
掴みたい 信じたい 叫んでる
【Aメロ2】
普通の友達 笑顔の裏で
罪みたいに胸が痛む
「そばにいたい」その願いほど
遠ざかるのは 残酷な世界
【Bメロ2】
泣きたい喉を 噛み殺して
強がるほどに 刃は鈍る
不器用なあんたが歩き出すたび
わたしも少し 解けてゆく
【ラスサビ】
鏡合わせのアイツとワタシ
好きと嫌いが交錯する迷路
弱さと強さ 炎と影
壊れた硝子に映る未来
届かない心だとしても
信じたい 叫びたい 生きていたい
『English』
[Verse 1]
Locked inside a cage of glass
Only laughter echoes far away
Who decided what “normal” is?
I bite my nails and swallow the night
[Pre-Chorus 1]
A pitiful back, met with words of scorn
Yet in the mirror, the same shadow shows
I want to break it, I want to save it
My chest creaks like sparks about to burst
[Chorus 1]
That reflection—her and me
Love and hate tangled in a maze
Fragility is a blade, kindness a flame
Our clashing voices tear the night with noise
Glass walls shut away unreachable hearts
Still I reach, still I believe, still I scream
[Verse 2]
Smiles with “normal” friends,
Yet guilt pierces my chest
The more I wish “I want to be by your side,”
The farther it drifts—this cruel world
[Pre-Chorus 2]
I bite down the sobs caught in my throat
The more I act strong, the duller my blade grows
Each step your awkward self takes forward,
A little piece of me begins to melt away
[Final Chorus]
That reflection—her and me
Love and hate collide in this maze
Weakness and strength, flame and shadow
A shattered glass reflects the future
Even if our hearts can never touch
I want to believe, I want to scream, I want to live
