Yuki Kajiura

I am very honored to be in charge of the music for "The Case Files of Lord Ermeloy II".
I hope that the music will be a suitable color for this work, which is full of the charm of a story in which II runs headlong through the middle of characters who have one or two quirks.
We were very happy to have the opportunity to work with ASCA for the ED song "Kumohaku," which was written with the motif of "Aerial Kumohaku," a bird that runs up to the sky with great dedication. We hope you will enjoy the world created by ASCA's beautiful and melancholy voice!

ASCA

I am truly honored to be in charge of the ED theme for "The Case Files of Lord Ermeloy II. I have always been attracted to and admired the music and worldview created by Yuki Kajiura, and I asked Mr. Kajiura, who is such an admirer of mine, to write the song "Hibari" for this project. I sang it while praying that it would be a song of hope for the characters. I am looking forward to this work, which depicts 10 years after my favorite waver velvet, with all of you. I hope that this song, which I carefully spun with each word, will accompany their story and someone else's story....
