LMYK『0 (zero)』English ver.

Teaser for “0 (zero)” - the ending theme song of anime “The Case Study of Vanitas (Vanitas no Carte)” released!

Last year, LMYK - a talented female singer, suddenly appeared with the song “Unity” - the theme for the Japanese dubbed version of “The Legend of Hei” movie.
Now, her new song “0 (zero)” has been selected as the ending theme for the TV anime “The Case Study of Vanitas”. It is based on the latest work by Jun Mochizuki, the author of the popular manga “Pandora　Hearts” which has sold over 5.5 million copies. This news about the theme song went viral, especially amongst the anime fans, when the announcement was made the other day.
To coincide with the premiere of the anime, the teaser for LMYK's new song "0 (zero)" has been released on YouTube today.
Compared to the previous dark artist photo which created a painting-like world, the video is white based to create a softer visual. It is a teaser which seems to truly represent the song’s title “0 (zero)” and raises expectations for the song’s release.
In addition, along with the Japanese version and an English version of the song has been produced for the anime. When the anime is distributed internationally, the English version will be used in English-speaking countries. The English version of the teaser has also been uploaded, so check that out as well.
And once again, the legendary production team Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis produced this song, creating excitement for the full-sized version. Keep an eye on LMYK, as the song will be available digitally on August 11 (Wed).

■Artist Biography
LMYK

Singer-songwriter, born and raised in Osaka, Japan to a multicultural household with a Japanese mother and a German father. While attending college in New York City, she starts writing music and performing. Her music catches the ear of legendary music producers Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis who offer to produce her music. Seamlessly weaving Japanese and English lyrics, she uses her gentle voice like an orchestra and makes each sound blossom as if depicting a beautiful garden. With Jam & Lewis’s artistry and masterful production work, her music creates a “New Global Standard.”

She made her debut with “Unity,” the theme song for the Japanese dubbed version of the animation movie “The Legend of Hei” released on November 6, 2020. She will release a new song “0 (zero)” in 2021.

THE FUCKING BEST ENDING THEME OF THIS SEASON.

[umyra]

Best OST of the year I love this and I love Vanitas No carte

[XOHKIM]

It's rare for the English version of a Japanese song to be just as fire as the Japanese version!

[brandoncortes]

FINALLY who else has been waiting for this song to drop since vanitas no cárte came out

[Thatonegoth]

when she said "when I lose myself, I become you" reminds me when noe help vanitas get up and told him "not yet" meaning not to give up ! And then when Jeanne [spoiler] thought of killing the beast because she didn't want to regret anything, vanitas told her "not yet" (the same noe told him) meaning there is still hope T_T I just couldn't get that part of the song off my head.

[shiren]

My GOshhh there is literally no difference between the english and japanese version thats how good the artist actually is damnnnn

[NurSlamB_]

Ahead in the empty distance
Fading away unanswered
I turn off the lights
To see all the colors in the shadow
Travels across an instant
Far beyond tomorrow
I’m watching a faint breath
Send a ripple through the water

When I lose myself
I become you
Ichi kara juu leads me back to
Here inside your veil
Finer than a grand view
We’ll take a dive
Not even tides can come between us

Was it you who I’ve been searching for
Spent my life alone and waited for?
So tenderly and endlessly
You made me whole, you made me whole
And the walls I built they melt away
With every touch in your embrace
Every day, every night, every note I play
You made me whole, you made me whole

How could I have been so blinded
Running away in circles
I hear my doubts drop
When I see you in the mirror
Right beneath the surface
Washed away my sorrows
I feel your heartbeat
As it echoes through the hour

When I lose myself
I become you
You are the moment I belong to
Here without our names
We’re back to being brand new
There’s no need to hide
Just you and I until forever

Was it you who I’ve been searching for
Spent my life alone and waited for?
So tenderly and endlessly
You made me whole, you made me whole
Was it you who I heard through the door
When I cried and had no place to go?
Every day, every night, every note I play
You made me whole, you made me whole

Tracing and tracing the sunset
Appearing a zero and finally
Now I remember
I have never lived a day without you
Untie the layer of memories
Louder we spin with the melody
You are the only, only one for me

Was it you who I’ve been searching for
Spent my life alone and waited for?
So tenderly and endlessly
You made me whole, you made me whole
And the walls I built they melt away
With every touch in your embrace
Every day, every night, every note I play
You made me whole, you made me whole
Was it you who I heard through the door
When I cried and had no place to go?
Meguri meguru toki no naka
I’ll never believe I’m alone
In the end we begin ‘til we meet again
You made me whole, you made me whole

I know I’m never alone

Fun fact this song sounds western because it was created by 2 legendary guys Jimmy Jam and Terry Lewis . They noticed her when she was iin the college in New York.LMYK herself is half german half Japanese.

[kazeshini]

makes me want to reach out my hand towards the void and hoping someone would take it

[ТатьянаАндрианова-мэ]

Ichi kara juu -- One to ten
Meguri meguru toki no naka -- Every day, every night, every note I play

[DadNeedsToTalk]

This artist just did the new outro for Vinland Saga Season 2 (which I love). I kept feeling like something sounded familiar and this is why. I loved this on Vanitas.

[justlikehoney]

came back to hear this masterpiece again, miss those times watching vanitas no carte every week

[mike]

Both the song and anime are probably one of the best animes ive ever seen like lets be honest here for a minute

[Kurokraze]

I cant see a single thing in the video, but this was the best ending Vanitas no Carte can ever ask for, i think im too late as this anime came like two years back but still, what can i say, i listen to this song 5 times a day lol...and after watching that anime im stuck with this song i cant take it out of my mind...THIS SONG REALLY MAKES US WHOLE....❤

[cssrndpty]

The wait is all worth it! This song is divine!!!

Edit: I'm watching this again and noticed that ever since this was released 12 hours ago, not even a single soul disliked it. Well there's nothing to dislike in this song really!

[XzeonOfficial]

The 808s hit thats what i love about this song

[justlikehoney]

FINALLY, I’VE WAITED A LOT AND FINALLY 🛐🛐🛐🛐🛐

[jeremystarl]

The opening is Noe, sound lively
And then the closing is Vanitas, darker.

[absurdnadia]

the full version is finally out and its so damn addicting

[sanmesh]

Was it you (the song) that I've been searching for?

Spent my life alone and waited for.
