[NINGYO] - A Charming Enigma's Call From The Depths

HOSI NO MAKIMONO Twenty-Sixth Release: "[NINGYO] - A Charming Enigma's Call From The Depths" There are no lyrics for this song. Instead, I invite you to listen closely and share with me what kind of story it is able to paint for you with instruments alone. After taking some time to mentally refresh, I now return with [NINGYO], a song I've been looking forward to making for some time now. Though I had a clear vision from the beginning for the kind of atmosphere I wanted to capture, I didn't exactly have an idea of how to approach it until I got started. The result is something that, while not groundbreaking, has a unique flair that I'm quite satisfied with. This song seeks to portray an encounter with someone who carries unmistakable allure and an equally undeniable air of danger. When such an unfamiliar face appears within a small, closed off town — one where none can enter nor leave, one where bodies have been appearing one-by-one — how does one respond? Yet this charming devil's gaze seeks out for only a single soul. A special someone, the apple of their eye, occupying their thoughts in their every waking moment. What feelings this gaze holds cannot be said for certain, as their true heart remains an enigma, shrouded in impenetrable fog. The looming shadow of impending demise is treated like a game, while every breath and touch carries the levity of a joke. Beneath those flirtatious words and capricious deeds, a truth swims just shy of the surface, arisen from depths unfathomable. Be it love, or something darker, the day that it finally breaches will certainly be one to remember. I hope that [NINGYO] was able to convey the charming nature and enigmatic depths of this coquettish imp to you, and bring you some small sliver of enjoyment in the process. Please stay tuned for future releases.
