Ryujin have premiered a new video for their new song “Saigo No Hoshi.” The track, which features backing vocals from Matt Heafy (Trivium) and cello from Mukai Wataru (Kansai Philharmonic Orchestra), is from the band’s new self-titled album, which will be released on January 12. Ryoji Shinomoto commented:
“This is our first ballad, so it’s very special for us. This song is about a samurai who was about to die after the war, thinking about his family and praying for peace. A lot of very sad wars are currently happening on the planet too, families are being separated, and so on. I put that feeling into it. Also, I am inviting everybody to enjoy Mr. Mukai’s outstanding cello performance. The album also includes a version sung by Matthew in English, so I am curious which version people are gonna like more!”
