COMMENT
My name is Shiyui, and I will be singing the ending them for Season 2 of the TV anime Wistoria: Wand and Sword.For this song, “Reach for the light”, I asked Atsu Mizuno to write the lyrics, and Ito Yukino to compose the music.In the anime, the boy who can’t use magic discovers a magic called “Courage.”And his unwavering determination is a single, straight-edged sword. A sword that will cut through everything.
During the recording, a timid voice begins to speak, and in the 4 minutes in which he screams out in determination, I focused my ears on how much tension my voice can hold.As I carefully touched the strong will carried within the words, I was reminded that words truly are like magic.I felt that with the sword within our throats, we are able to weave a great magic called language.I would be truly grateful if you would listen over and over to the wishes of those reaching out towards the light.
