Track no: 2

Hey guys! Sorry to interrupt while you're probably indulging in Nightmare's new EP (I know I have over these last days) but as they say—the show must go on, so today we're covering "Re:Do"!

As you've seen in a couple of songs we've done lately, the theme continues to consist of rebirth, starting over again, etc. and this song is no different. Interestingly enough there are some similarities to a song we know pretty well already, namely "Can you do it?", but in this case, Sakito is asking whether or not we can "Re:Do" it again. That track was also the second of the "Majestical Parade" album, but instead of welcoming us to a parade, here we are introduced to the "Night Light" followed by this song. I always love it when they make these small but peculiar throw-backs!

We've got an interesting idiom in there with the "frog trapped in a well". I chose to go with the literal translation but metaphorically it stands for someone who lacks worldly experience, or is even ignorant of it, much like how a frog can only see a tiny bit of the sky from down in the well. It can also stand for one's naivety or narrow-mindedness. To give an example—you can say that you were a frog in a well when you were young, thinking everything would be so much easier when you grew up only to come to understand the harshness of reality and the world.

Let me know what you think about the new EP down in the comments below! I think it's a really solid EP overall with "Mist" being my absolute obsession over these last couple of days.

Next week we'll put a wrap on the "NOX:LUX" album! Thank you for all the support and take care of yourselves out there!
