Song Production Information[1]
Hello! This is QuoN.
While expressing Jadeite's quiet dreadfulness and grandness, I incorporated scientific techno because of his research institute. In addition, for the first time in a long time, I sampled an older man's voice to add flavor. I feel satisfied that the flavor fits his character image.
In this techno song, the brilliance held by lapises and the fleeting nature of that brilliance are represented by the break section and the ending. Since I was conscious of arm movements from the composition stage, I think the fill-ins and the intense synth section in the middle were a good way to ramp things up.
Also, as you can imagine, the title comes from the word "eternity (kuon)". Although I was the one who made it, a certain image plays in my mind at the last piano phrase.
It's this image where Jadeite is defeated by Retsu and the others, and his lapis shatters in slow motion. Jadeite looks up to the heavens with his eyes wide as his lapis breaks into tiny pieces.
That leads to the image of Jadeite's memories flashing before his eyes. The title came from "the feeling of remembering the distant past while breaking apart". The impact and beauty of the word "eternity" is another reason it was selected.
For the mid-boss of a story that is still ongoing, I feel like I've completed a striking piece of music.
