MANON Releases aura, the Second of Four Consecutive Monthly Releases

02.December.2022 | MUSIC

Fans can now listen to aura, the new song by MANON and the second of four consecutive monthly releases.

This song was co-written with trackmaker kiraku, who also worked on her previous track. Inspired by MANON’s pink hair, the song conjures an image of a fragile yet strong aura, and is meant sung with the person you admire in mind.

The artwork was done by 3DCG artist AsahiNa, who was personally invited to work on the project by MANON herself. The logo was done by Mark Robinson, who also worked on the previous project.

 

<Comment from MANON>

aura, the second of four consecutive monthly releases, is here.
This song is a continuation of the previous song with trackmaker kiraku, and when she produced it, she was inspired by the color pink since my hair color is currently pink.
When I hear this song I kind of think of pink and light blue. I titled it aura because it really does feel like you’re surrounded by something unseen.
I sang about someone I admire so much that I wish I could be them.
This unnamed person has a fragile but strong aura and I’m sure that everyone has someone like that in their life, so I hope you’ll listen to this one!
The logo is by Mark Robinson and the artwork is by AsahiNa, who I’ve always wanted to work with. I thought AsahiNa’s work was a perfect fit for aura’s image!

I hope you enjoy it! ^_^”

    <Comment from MANON>

    “I’ve wanted to collab with Kyunchi for so long, and it’s finally happened.

     

    When I go to parties, I have a habit of being loud and not holding back, so people tend to shoot me these judgmental looks. But I don’t care! I always think “LET’S MAKE SOME NOISE!!” This song is just that–it’s us doing what we want to do at the moment. ⭐️That’s the vibe.

     

    I feel like gals from the 2010s are all about YOLO–they give off this super strong vibe. That’s what I was trying to channel in this track, but then Kyunchi’s bad bitch rap made it so much more intense. The jacket was also inspired by blinged-out images from the 2010s and was made by Kiraku’s friend onumi!

     

    When you hear this song, be sure to MAKE SOME NOISE!!”
