FREEEZE!!・concept book・mitsuketa tobira wa

"Times have become extremely tough. We do not yet have enough pain to live in this space, but when pain presents itself, it is more or less too late. Like a cavity. It is really difficult to fight an invisible enemy.
We have to rethink the solutions we have to choose afterwards through our music.
I put such a sense of self-discipline into this song.
When a gun is held to the back of one's head, one's choice will differ from person to person, whether to comply quietly, to try to persuade the other party, or to try to reverse the situation. No one knows the answer to the question.
With Miyashita Yuu, a rare vocalist with a wide range of expression, as our collaborator, we decided to create a challenging piece of music with a dizzying development.
When listeners who read this, including Yuu Miyashita himself, hear "FREEEZE! I wanted to deliver the feeling of "something is wrong with this song" (aka yabai)
I wrote the lyrics and arranged the music with that in mind. I used a dark rock sound as the basis for the song, and included rap parts and a violently distorted horn section. When I finished writing the song, I was satisfied. I was able to do everything I wanted to do. Thank you again for giving me this opportunity" - eita

"The first person we met was the one who gave us the most trial-and-error work, "FREEEZE! (lyrics and music by Eita May). In fact, about 10 years ago, I had posted a video in which I tried singing a rap-style song. This song gave me a chance to reconnect with the person I had forgotten I was at that time. It reminded me of how much I used to like the rap approach in songs like this. It was like I said goodbye to you once, but you came back one more time (laughs)" - yuu
