It is also revealed that the opening song for the 2nd cour of this series “BURN” will be performed by yama × WurtS. The comments also arrived from the artists:
In times of upheaval, each person’s sense of justice clashes violently. Their pasts and hidden feelings that forced them to become who they are, and their emotions intersect. Their
yama
determination to follow their beliefs is down-to-earth and clumsy, yet beautiful.
I am truly happy to have been able to express this passion together with WurtS in the song “BURN.”
I hope that you will enjoy the song along with the wonderful work that is “Rurouni Kenshin.”
I am truly honored to have had the opportunity to work with yama on this wonderful production of “Rurouni Kenshin.” I
WurtS
felt a mutual sympathy for the
fact that we both hide our true identities while working, as well as our singing voices, works, and ways of expression. With “inner passion” as the key, “BURN” expresses the hidden feelings of Shishio Makoto and Himura Kenshin in this work, as well as the gradually heating up emotional clash.
I hope this song will be an emotional trigger that can rise up again and again.
