“The song was created from a critical perspective on the system of marriage,” says HARU NEMURI on the lyrics of the upcoming single. “The institution of marriage has historically served as a mechanism to bind and regulate individuals and communities economically, socially, and religiously. In Japan, only heterosexual (men and women couples) are granted the right to use this institution, which could be seen as society imposing normative rules on forms of love and is profoundly unequal. Having to constantly prove one’s relationships to authorities and receive their endorsement is, simply put, strange. So, in this song, from the perspective of if love truly exists, does it really require such a contract? Isn’t this just an obsession by having “no guarantee without a contract”? The song attempts to separate love from the institution, challenging the necessity of the institution itself.”

“Piercing through providence, dragging through the void, the world. Destroy, create, destroy, destroy,” NEMURI sings on ‘I Refuse’. “Due to being a socially assigned gender of “woman,” there are instances where music is treated as if it is not fundamentally a form of expression,” says NEMURI on the new song. “This is closely intertwined with the labeling of those who are not considered “able-bodied”, “conventionally decent,” or “a male” in this society have faced and continue to face, even up to the present day. I felt the need to refuse all of that and to have a song that would redefine its significance.”
