Some insider rrats, believe them or not idgaf. I was on a single call during Reflect production where they were workshopping an early draft, and that's it. I think I said one whole sentence, and there were maybe 8-12 people on the call. We all had to literally call in old-school style, so no discord.
>Gura was "in character" at all times as far as her voice goes. Whether that's part of her creative process or Cover policy about avoiding "real voice" leaks I have no idea.
>She asked a LOT of questions about the process and seemed actually really involved. In my experience, that's rare for a singer whose song is being written by committee.
>An early draft had a line that started "Ever since I was just a kid" got axed because her manager was worried "since I was" sounded too much like "Senzawa", no joke. The final draft had that section completely different so it didn't matter anyway, but I thought that was funny considering they literally let her do Country Roads.
>They kept focusing on it being an "opener", meaning a high energy track that could kick off a show in the eventuality of a HoloEN online concert. From what it sounds like, they would want to open and close with Gura-centric songs since she's the biggest EN crowd draw.
