VOL.176 “花は咲いて ただ揺れて”interview and 发行信息

●○○From music freak magazine Vol.176

GARNET CROW

●This single contains two ballads with different characters. In what situations would you like people to listen to each one?

Nakamura: I would like people to listen carefully to 「花は咲いて ただ揺れて」 in their rooms. I think it would feel good through headphones as well. 「愛に似てる」 has more groove, so it might surprisingly work well for driving too.

●After this single is released, it will lead into the album. What kind of work is the album likely to be?

Nakamura: The album is really good (laughs). It is a work that stays true to a musical style only we can create. It is a work where you can feel our determination to remain GARNET CROW and feel our souls, so please look forward to it.
