TK from Ling Tosite Sigure Teases New Song ‘melt’ Featuring Guest Vocalist suis

04.September.2019 | MUSIC

TK from Ling Tosite Sigure is readying himself for his tour to Tokyo, Osaka and Nagoya this October. But before he hits the road, he has just announced that his new single melt (with suis from Yorushika) will be released digitally on October 2, right before the tour begins.

As the title reveals, the track features suis from Japanese music group Yorushika, who was invited on board with a direct offer from TK. The song will be released in just under a month, but TK has given fans a tease over on his official Instagram and his band his band Ling Tosite Sigure’s Twitter page. The song draws a silhouette of ephemeral forbidden love, woven together with the unmatched beauty of TK’s melodies and suis’s vocals.

Speaking about working on the song with TK, suis commented: “I am deeply honoured to have been invited on board a song so sensational I have no idea why I was chosen. I’m the type of person whose soul is touched when it comes to songs, so my chest felt tight the entire time when recording began. Every time I listened to the track it felt like I was doing something wrong. I felt really troubled. I hope the people who listen to the song feel the same way.”

TK also commented: “I wrote this song on the fly. Every element of it came to me at once: the visuals of the music video, the words, the melody. In that time I wanted something that wasn’t me, something that sounded different from my usual image. I called it melt, and suis’s vocals elevated that transience that much more, like it’s close to you and melts and then heads off far away. I’m looking forward to the people who usually listen to Yorushika getting to hear suis in a different light. And the video is wonderful, it’s something completely new. I hope it reaches faraway [people].”

    03.December.2019 | ANIME&GAME / MUSIC

    It has been announced that Memai Siren's new song image _____, which is produced and arranged by TK (Ling Tosite Sigure), will be released on January 22 next year.
    The song will be used as the ending theme for the upcoming TV anime series pet. The opening theme is entitled Chō no Tobu Suisō (The Water Tank the Butterfly Flies in) and sees TK from Ling Tosite Sigure taking the helm to perform the song.Both the anime edit version and full version of image _____ will be made available for digital download on January 6.   Memai Siren said: "There's a lot of things in pet we can relate to. It looks at the mountains and valleys of people's hearts, and questions if what we're looking at really is reality. We set out to create a song from the perspective of the storyーone that can support people. And with TK kindly on board to produce for us, we believe we have been able to elevate our expressive power like we never have. However, the reality in which I am writing this right now: is it just a memory? Or am I just rewriting something? Does this song even exist in the first place? I entrust the answers [to these questions] to you, the listeners."
