New Digital Single from tricot

Rock band tricot released a new digital single on February 16th.

Following up on their December 2021 album Jodeki, the new track End roll is the opening theme song for the Japanese TV series "liar". The show is based on a story that was first posted to an amateur fiction site and later adapted into a manga series. It is said to be a romantic tale of two lovers in an uncertain relationship, switching back and forth between the perspectives of the male and female leads.

End roll was written especially for this series, and tricot frontwoman Ikkyu Nakajima’s lyrics are said to describe a love that is "unrequited yet tantalizing", with a deliberate imbalance between the music and lyrics.

Nakajima commented:

“I was gripped by the relationship between Misao and Ichi and the frustration and thrill of their on-off romance, and I wrote the lyrics from a woman’s perspective. I named the song End roll to echo my hope that these two lovers will become one by the time the credits roll at the end of the series. I hope the power of music will help this wonderful story to resonate even longer in your heart!”
