【song episode】
I was in a band and wrote original songs.
Around that time, when I tried to write the lyrics for "陰獣/Beast in the Shadows", I was too conscious of 江戸川乱歩/Edogawa Ranpo and got stuck.
I wrote it by interpreting the worldview of my favorite Lovecraft and the unique sensibility of 夢野久作/Kyusaku Yumeno.
Written using old language.
The taboo god who ruled over countless years
My version of "陰獣/Beast in the Shadows"
Lovecraft's profound worldview suits hard rock well. I often borrow his ideas.
Wajima says that his hero is Lovecraft, not only in his work but also in his loneliness and clumsy humanity.
(From 30th anniversary commentary book. Wajima Autobiography)
【陰獣/Inju】
According to Rampo, like a cat, they are "quiet and gloomy, but somehow they have a secret fear or eerieness."
Words that appear in very old Japanese novels
Negative animals, especially foxes.
