Soundiron’s Voice Of The Sun - Sunrise begins a new generation in Soundiron's solo vocalist pantheon, exploring new creative horizons and expanded playability. Sunrise brings you evocative and authentic traditional lyrical phrases, emotionally-charged melodies, dynamic chromatic expressions, and naturally fluid true legato. Sunrise was recorded in Japan and performed live by female vocalist N-Iori, with studio engineering by Yusuke Asada, developed in collaboration with Sonic Wire / Crypton Future Media. The Japanese lyrics in this collection were performed live without the use of AI. Each lyrical element was adapted from selected lines and words from the Hyakunin Isshu, a famous collection of one hundred waka (classical Japanese) poems, known in Japan through "Uta-Garuta," a traditional poetry card game played during the New Year. It is said that the collection was compiled by poet Fujiwara no Teika during Japan's Kamakura era (c. 1185–1333).The modern Japanese and English translation of each line is displayed as a caption in the GUI window in real-time as you play it.
