is one of our most influential bands whom we also had the pleasure of touring N. America with in 2017. During then, we also had the pleasure of performing one of their songs together. We'll cherish this memory forever.
Earlier today, my father passed away. I'd like to deeply thank him for supporting my musical life. For "For My Parents", we used my parents' picture as the cover with the permission of the members. Today, I'll listen to this album for the first time in a while.

We’ve released our album For My Parents 11 years ago. To this day this album still holds a special place in my heart. Hope all of you can connect with this album. This one was a gift for my mom and dad. 🖤__Taka
今朝早く僕の父が永眠しました。ずっと僕の音楽生活を応援してくれた父さん、本当にありがとう、そしてお疲れ様でした。2013年にリリースした”For My Parents"のメインカヴァーには、メンバーに許可をもらって、僕の父と母の写真を使っています。今日はこのアルバムをひさしぶりに聞きます。

The intro is like gently falling snow. The noise at the end is like a big snowstorm. The song makes you forget about time and it pulls you back into reality at the end. It represents the beautiful moments of life and fragility of people walking towards death for certainty. / Yoda

At this time, we only had despair and darkness and Taka suddenly asked me to sing. Since I've never done so, I was surprised but I also wanted to express in words. I get mixed feelings when we perform but I'm relaxed and certain that we can still move forward at the end. /Tamaki

The intro's like slowly remembering the old memories and as it builds up, they get clear and the black & white sceneries start to colour. When I play this song, I remember these sceneries. My hometown where I used to wanted to leave is now one of my most favourite places. / Yoda
I wanted to create an aggressive, symphonic and sublime album by mixing our destructive power as a band and spirituality of Classical music in a new way. This was the 3rd album with the engineer Steve Albini, and we feel that we managed to create an ideal sound for us. / Taka
One of the greatest composers Ennio Morricone, who has expressed the emotions of people in music, has now passed away. He was one of the musicians who has influenced me the most. My deepest condolences from the bottom of my heart. /Taka
