The original Iron Lotus was like a raging fire, bombastic, angry and powerful, but the Key Ingredient version feels like the flames have already flickered out... the warmth is disappearing, and all that's left the sadness and grief underneath. Mili is doing an amazing job at revisiting old songs and completely changing the way they feel and sound. I'm looking forward to the next Key Ingredient song!!

If the original Iron Lotus were fiery breath + anger + passion, this is the wasteland after the fire. Much more calm, and yet hopeless and out of energy. It's so good

[@dustin266]

This version sounds like Xiao crying with all her flames gone at the end of the battle. Such a different emotion with the same lyrics I love it.

[@pastelhotmess9299]

This version is like the lover leaving their partner, in a balladic, striong yet absolutely done way...like they're burntout from the pain

I felt shivers when I heard the “you’re my everything” line repeat twice, I feel like this line was super important for many reasons, one being that it’s not repeated twice in the original and two being because no other line in this version repeats twice and three being because it seems to be the line that captures a majority of xiao’s emotions

[@alexursu4403]

With all due respect, I am glad that Mili considered their work on Library Of Ruina's OST important enough that they remade not one, but two of the game's song for their anniversary album.

シャオがこんな感じで歌ってるところを想像すると泣きそうになってくる

シャオ部長がE.G.Oを獲得できなくてねじれたら流れそう…

シャオがロウェルの本抱えたままボーっと雨に濡れた庭を眺めてそう

[@aiyyy-yv9fb]

now I cant listen regular version without sad thinks

[@BlueOrchestras]

このシャオは図書館に勝ったけど

[@yeehaw9315]

couldnt help but notice that while lines that were repeated twice in the original (Ex: “Why did you leave?”) were only said once here while the line “You’re my everything” was repeated twice here when it was only sung once in the original. this rendition really emphasized the regret and despair Xiao experienced.

[@karstb8830]

In strictly Ruina terms, this one makes me think of two things.

[@murasegin2162]

"Isn't ironic"

[@conkageious]

Normally, albums releases aren't something that particularly excites me.

[@sudarzgracer4352]

"Greed is unlimited, freedom is limited", for some reason I have never heard this lyric in the original. It for some reason hits so incredibly hard in this version of the song where the tempo so completely different

[@user-lv8xi7zv5z]

I'm obsessed with how the line "you're my everything" was the only line to get repeated in this version; it wasn't even repeated in the original song. It's so heart wrenching and beautiful to me

[@grimmnr_]

The original mix is truly the embodiment of "Tonight, a star of the city will fall". Anger and hope.

[@fufu3145]

彼女が最期に口ずさんでいるようで、燃え尽きる炎の名残りを感じました。

[@user-yo7xw2ny1v]

高くてあどけない声と裏返ったり語尾が抜けたりするセクシーなニュアンスのある歌い方ががっちりピッタリあってて何回でも聞ける…アレンジってこういうものだよな、って再確認できる良い歌声
