＞Comment from Sagiri Sól
This song began with the phrase, “Your eyes are ruby-like.”
Meeting someone and falling in love—sometimes a single word or a simple action from the other person can affirm your existence or change who you’ve been up to that moment. The lyrics express the mysterious nature of falling in love and the profound “feelings” for someone that can bring immense power and solace to your life.
Rubies symbolize “passion,” “devotion,” “pure love,” “courage,” and “freedom.” These meanings inspired the lyrics and title, capturing the sentiment, “I love your eyes that give me all of those things.”
This marks my second collaboration with Shin Sakiura, following our previous track “alphabets.” Thanks to Shin’s unique and dynamic tracks—so pop-driven and full of energy that they make you want to move—we’ve created a vibrant and heartwarming piece that I’m truly proud of.

Congratulations on the release of ruby!
Following our collaboration on alphabets this summer, we’ve once again created a track that overflows with Sagiri Sól’s one-of-a-kind energy and charm. This song is even more polished and pop-oriented than ever before, and I believe it will become a piece that’s loved by even more listeners.

Shin Sakiura:
Shin Sakiura is a producer and guitarist based in Tokyo. After playing in a band, he started producing original music under his own name in 2015. His music is based on emotional guitars, but his bouncy beats inspired by Hip-Hop and R&B, and moody synth sounds with a hint of soul funk, are pleasantly harmonized and attracting attention. They have released three full-length albums so far: “Mirror” (1st album / October 2017), “Dream” (2nd album / January 2019), and “NOTE” (3rd album / March 2020). He has also produced, arranged, and programmed songs for SIRUP, Taichi Mukai, iri, Asako Toki, Aile The Shota, and Aina the End, and has provided music for PVs and commercials for apparel brands and companies. TRIGGER's work on the ending theme for the anime “BNA” has also become a hot topic of conversation.
