RYO (EGOIST producer) comment
I am very happy to have the opportunity to work with Mr. Araki, the father of EGOIST, on this project. The song for this project is named "KABANERI OF THE IRON FORTRESS," after the title of the work. The song was born very quickly after seeing the story and the characters. It was the only way to do it! I hope you will like it. I hope you like it.

Comment from chelly (EGOIST vocalist)
I think we have come up with the most difficult song in the history of EGOIST. Every time we receive a new song, the level is getting higher. But as a singer, the higher the level of difficulty, the more I get excited, and I think that the sweat, blood, andtears thatwe shed madethe song so hot and cool. I was able to see the materials that Mr. Araki had given to me, which made it easier for me to visualize and create my own feelings about the work.
