After her 2023 hit song, 'Sitwasyonship,' singer-songwriter Janine Berdin is back with another amazing collaboration featuring artist Arthur Nery in their new song, 'Mikasa.'
Being a manga and anime fan, Janine Berdin found inspiration in her favorite anime film, "Attack on Titan," for her latest track. This song not only highlights Berdin's artistic talents but also celebrates her collaboration with Arthur Nery, who shares her passion for anime.
"'Mikasa' is a track I initially wrote myself, and as I worked on it with my bandmates - Kirk Basilio, Luke Casanova, and TJ Castillon - I couldn't help but envision Arthur Nery on the track," Berdin explained. "This is my first time reaching out for a collaboration, and I knew Arthur would be the perfect fit, being a fellow anime enthusiast. His support and contribution to the song have been nothing short of incredible, and we are honored to have him on board."
Berdin revealed, "The song is heavily inspired by Attack on Titan character Mikasa Ackerman's point of view. It explores the theme of an unhealthy, one-sided love rooted in irrational desire, leading the lover to do anything, regardless of how unreasonable."
"It's like a movie in a song. You can really feel the journey of pain and longing from the music to its dynamics. My personal favorite is the hauntingly desperate echoes in the bridge that go 'I want, I need you' on loop, complemented by a soul-stirring guitar solo by my bandmate TJ," she shared.
Arthur Nery, for his part, embraced the opportunity presented by Janine Berdin, given his own fandom of the manga-adapted anime film “Attack On Titan.”
The two have been friends since the pandemic and have consistently supported each other.
