‘STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R’ theme song ‘stella’ features on new EP ‘Reverse’ by Japanese band SUIREN

Japanese band SUIREN released their new digital EP ‘Reverse’ on January 24, showcasing their unique keyboard-laced rock sound.

SUIREN was formed in 2020 by vocalist Sui and keyboard player/arranger Ren. They have won praise for their meticulous sound, centered on Sui’s piercing singing voice and ephemeral, fragile melodies. They have provided theme songs for multiple anime series and movies, drawing attention from music fans.

The EP includes many gems, including the lead track ‘Eye Shadow’, along with ‘stella’, which was used as the main theme song for Square Enix’s highly anticipated game ‘STAR OCEAN THE SECOND STORY R’ – a remake of the classic ‘STAR OCEAN’ RPG. The EP combines the refined keyboard sound that is the core of SUIREN with the appeal of Sui’s penetrating high-tone voice.
