<LiSA comments

I am pleased to be in charge of the opening theme for "NieR:Automata Ver1.1a".
When I heard that "NieR:Automata", which has been loved by people all over the world for a long time, was going to be made into an anime, I was one of the people who had high expectations and joy. It is my favorite work.
This time, Mr. Akita of amazarashi, who has been deeply and profoundly attached to NieR, entrusted us with his "black box.
I sang the song with my heart, overlaying my heart on the emotions of these girls, which are so pure and beautiful that they make my heart tighten.
Please join us in witnessing their story together with the music until the very end.
LiSA

I have provided the music for the opening theme "Black Box" sung by LiSA.
This is the third time I have written a song for "NieR: Automata," and as a fan of the NieR series, I am very honored.
With LiSA's voice, I think I was able to express the emotion and sentimentality of the pitiless world that 2B sees with even greater color.
I am very proud of this song, so please listen to it.
I hope this song will be engraved in your hearts along with the memories of "NieR:Automata Ver1.1a".
Hiromu Akita, amazarashi
