Taion Lyrics

Cover art for Taion lyrics by Gazette

This song is hauntingly beautiful. It made me cry the first time I heard the lyrics and understood them properly. The singing, especially the live version... It sends shivvers down my spine. It sounds so dispairing and pained.

The song is about a murder case that happened in Japan in the late 1980's. Ruki-san wrote it as a tribute to the girl who was killed.

There is a Wikipedia page about the case - if you have the stomach - it truly was a horrific murder. Just type 'Concrete-Encased High School Girl Murder' into Wikipedia... Yes, it is as bad as it sounds.

This song is both terrible and beautiful... Brutally violent and delicate in the description and emotion portrayed. Gazette truly are artists, to come up with something like this.
