Subject: Secret revealed。

Konbanwa!
It's become known in interviews and such、and I think I already wrote about it on my blog too but、
the artwork for the jacket of our debut album 「Jubilee」 was designed by me。
Last year in the beginning of December I wrote about a "great task" which was about the jacket design ne(>_<)
I think there are a lot of people who know but、from a mind and heart point doing things like drawing the design、doing creative things is something I loved。
So it's not just 「musician=artist」 but maybe an artist by nature ne。
This time for 「Jubilee」 the feelings are very strong、and altogether I spent almost three weeks on it。
To create something that doesn't lose to the songs compiled on here is not easy。
Since it was progressing at the same time as the sound mixing、it was tough to change my brain between "music" and "design" ne。
In proportion to the music slowly coming together、endless inspiration opened up from the "sound"、and changing from that mindset was the most difficult but、I felt the joy of the kind of artist that can exceed that。
Like the [music's] image、since the jacket artwork has an expected visual image to go with the music、for that I faced a sense of responsibility ne。
The angel on the front cover has various meanings that come from me personally。
I'll leave the interpretation to you but there's a deep gratefulness also。
I had to be as strict as I could with myself to compromise and leave things out、so finally it turned out to be a work of consent。
So I'd really like you to get this album。
Listen carefully、and I feel you should also look carefully。
I was able to get lost in the mysteriousness of each of the lyrics's story so I think this a work that's interesting。
It's in the postscript but、aside from 「Ascendead Master」 I designed all our previous works(>_<)
In the credits part of each work's jacket 、where it says the art director is named 「wait a minutes」 is me。
The direct translation of 「wait a minutes」 is 「sukoshi o-machi kudasai」 but、at the time my favorite phrase was 「chotto matte kudasai yooo~」 so it because this name(laugh)
I was undertaking designs for other artists besides Versailles so there may a work near you that was designed by me ne。
For the artwork that was done by me、I wonder if it changes the way you look at the work?(>_<)
It turned out to be a pretty good work didn't it(laugh)
At any rate please look forward to it☆
It'd be nice if I'd be able to have an exhibition one day ne(>_<)
