UMI -Europa Sea-
 
  vocal by IA <AI SONG ENGLISH [Voisona] >
  music, words & mixing by RON (Jul. 2024) 

This is a sister work to "YUKI GA FURU -snow falls-". A pop song that incorporates elements of electronica, EDM, world music, etc.

The subtitle "Europa" refers to Jupiter's moon. Europa is also called a moon of water and ice, and it is thought that beneath the thick layer of ice there is an ocean heated by Jupiter's tidal forces (and that there may be life there). As someone who has been a fan of science fiction and space/time physics since high school (but has a liberal arts background), I wanted to create a piece of music that imagined an imaginary future world in which we could easily travel from Earth to Europa in a spaceship. I tried making it once.

The lyrics sound like they're singing the love story of a young couple who have just started dating, and they also sound like they're singing a prayer for the future of humanity. During the interlude, an English radio is played with the voice of a cool male DJ, and I also wrote the script for this. The content is based on my fantasy: "If Europa really became a tourist destination, a radio program like this would be played?" But in a future world where interplanetary travel within solar systems is a reality, will there still be a culture of radio and music? (RON)

  UMI -Europa Sea-
  words by RON (2024)

The sparkle of sea foam greets us. This is Europa.

I wanna dive deeper into your heart.

Play with strange, vividly colored creatures.

Gaze upon Jupiter with a salmon pink cocktail in hand, and dream of ancient genes.

Past, present, future. Where are we going?

You just smile next to me.

A passing comet is reflected in your eyes.

May this happy time last forever.

A prayer to the rings of Jupiter.
