Yoru no Hate

[Machine Translation] NICO Touches the Walls' major label debut first single! The title track, "Yoru no Hate (End of the Night)," has a thick sound with a sense of speed, and the chorus is more impressive than ever, while the sound work has a tone that only Nico can create. The lyrics are not about Mitsumura's emotions, but about the fear he feels toward the night, and the vocals are like a squeezed out sound, creating a rock song with a lot of heat. The second song is "Bunny Girl and Danny Boy," a dance number with solid but swinging drums, sticking guitars, and bursting tension that is sure to be a hit at live performances, and the last song is a dramatic and beautifully arranged song with a sense of seasonal beauty. The final song, "April," adds a touch of seasonal color with its dramatic arrangement and careful songwriting. AIR continues to play the role of a good advisor for this album.

NICO Touches the Wallsメジャーデビュー第1弾シングル! 表題曲となる「夜の果て」は疾走感溢れる骨太なサウンドに、サビを今まで以上に印象的にしながらも、Nicoならではの音色を持ち合わせたサウンドワークになっている。さらに光村の感情そのものではなく、夜に向けて感じる"恐れ"を書いた文学的な歌詞と絞り出すようなヴォーカルが相まって、熱を持ったロックを鳴らしている。また「音楽戦士」のエンディングテーマにも決定。2曲目にはLIVEではすでに披露され、ソリッドながらスウィングするドラムに、張り付くようなギター、テンション炸裂、Liveで盛り上がり必須のダンスナンバーの「バニーガールとダニーボーイ」、そして最後はドラマチックなアレンジと丁寧な歌心が季節感に色をつける「April」。今作品も引き続き良きアドバイザー的役割でAIRが参加。
