When I heard that “NieR:Automata,” a work beloved worldwide for many years, was being adapted into an anime, I felt both excitement and joy. It’s a work I truly love.
This time, I received the song “Black Box” from Mr. Akita of amazarashi, who has been deeply connected to the NieR series.
I sang with my heart, intertwining with the pure and overwhelmingly beautiful emotions of the characters, which are truly heart-wrenching.
Please accompany them and witness their story to the very end along with this song.LiSA
