Talk:罪の名前 (Tsumi no Namae)/@comment-25534565-20161228030611

In the description of the NND upload, there's a download link to the afterword of the song. I downloaded it and did a quick skim. These are some of the information that I consider as important from the approximately 7k words long memoir: Ryo himself suffered severe bullying during his childhood and was afraid to tell his parents at that time. He endured all the suffering in silence, and for a long time he lived in pain until he got the chance to make new friends in class outside of school when he was in the second grade of middle school, then he was first exposed western music from his friends, of which he gained a huge impact from. After that, he gradually deepens in this interest and started to make his own compositions, only after that did he feel that he found a shelter where his existence could be accepted. Basically, the desire of "I only wanted to live normally" from this song is inspired by this experience.

I'm pretty sure that Odds&Ends was also an inner portrayal of himself.
