LINER NOTES
Red is not the color that catches fire. It is the color of velocity already gained. The idol in this track has not yet been named, not yet been fully seen — but she is already running. The outline breaks before anyone has finished drawing it.
The electronic sound does not decorate the track. It propels it. The melody fires forward to push the body ahead of the image. Voice leaps before meaning can arrive. This is the starting condition of NEON RHAPSODY: kawaii departing from sweetness, not something to be protected but something accelerating out of its own engine.
Red here is not the beginning. It is the velocity of a beginning that has already happened. The idol’s first impulse does not belong to the audience. It belongs to the idol.
