Transcription
Overview
Ash Crow contains a series of compositions written by Susumu Hirasawa for adaptations of the manga Berserk. Tied to the 2016 TV adaptation, the album includes both insert songs made for it, with the title track being a previously unannounced alternative arrangement. Besides those, the album contains both original versions of various tracks and re-recordings with new arrangements, as well as some instrumental mixes of recent songs.
It contains both tracks from the 2012 "Aria" single. The presence of "Sign" marks the second time the track has appeared in a compilation, after 2007's Music for Movies.
"Aria", "Sign" and "Sign-3" have lyrics written in "Hirasawan" (ヒラサワ語, Hirasawa-go), a language Hirasawa created by mixing together elements of Thai, German and Latin.[1][2]
