Original text

この曲は色々な要素が入っていますが、メインはシンのテーマです。シン自身、レックスから見たシン、ホムラから見たシンと視点がころころと変わ りますが、全体的にはシンの「意志」が表現されています。『ゼノブレイド2』のキャラクターの中で、彼を音楽で表現するのは最も難しいでしょう。悩みに悩んだ曲の一つです。約5分間のイベントに対して完璧に絵合わせをしたので、是非音楽に耳を傾けながらイベントをお楽しみください。

This piece has many different components, but the main one is Jin’s theme. The song cycles through many viewpoints of Jin, from Jin himself, Rex, and Pyra, but as a whole the theme represents Jin’s determination.[1] Out of all of Xenoblade 2’s characters, he was the hardest to capture with music. This was a song that I worried about a lot. I made it to match up to a nearly 5 minute scene, so please listen closely to the music while watching that scene.

Notes[edit]

  1. The word used here for "determination" is also the title of the track in Japanese.
