KOKIA - Fukurou / フクロウ 【Cici x がる・まる】

Details

Description

"Make haste, O visitor from yonder lands, lest you're to be bound by the laws of the forest..."

Hoo~llo there, Cici here with a cover of Fukurou with the lovely Garu! We both really love fantasy/folk songs and this is one we decided to do our first collab on ^^

While we were brainstorming concepts for art, video, adlibs, etc. Garu surprised me with the brilliant idea of sprinkling a bit of hymmnos into the cover, and we're super grateful to Geiky for spending the time in helping write the lyrics ; v; For those curious of the translation, it'll be at the end of the description!

As for the art, we decided to go with a fairytale-esque style similar to that of the Liar Princess and Blind Prince (and the Cruel King and the Great Hero 👀) so when I drew our characters, I tried to emulate the cute but eerie designs similar to the monsters in those games ^^

Gratitude and thanks to Geiky for the beautiful and flowing hymmnos lyrics, Esther for the goddess-tier timing/tuning, and to ZEL not only for the marvelous mix but the amazing additional instrument arrange as well! (Garu and I were super giddy when ZEL surprised us with the cello/violin arrange LMAO)

I also really loved working with Garu~ Her vocals are gorgeous and I absolutely look forward to collabing with her more in the future ❤️

Everyone's efforts and creativity has definitely enhanced this cover so much! As usual, please check out these amazing creators~
