- Ruki: For some reasons I took a look at my old lyrics. I wonder what were my feelings at the time I wrote them...
- Ruki: Around NIL my writing style changed abruptly. What happened to me (laugh)
- Ruki: Because they're my own lyrics I can't judge if they're good or not, but the ones that still convey my feelings of that time are the ones I can synchronize with even now.
- Ruki: As I think about this, someone's covering LUNA SEA in the studio nextdoor (laugh) And now they're playing GENESIS OF MIND (laugh) It kinda matches with my mind.
- Ruki: By the way, I wrote my first lyrics in 8th grade ← that's it
- Ruki: The title was 「a rose in the desert」... I'm so predictable ( ˘ω˘ ) But we first realized this project when NIL was announced in SHOXX's ads.
- Ruki: There's one thing that never changed since that time. It's my dream and my attitude toward the music and the band. But that's undoubtedly eternal. There's no way it's changing.
