Akira Takasaki
In an interview, guitarist Akira Takasaki described the album as more "aggressive" than "King of Pain". Saying, the previous album was focused on featuring drummer Masayuki Suzuki, but that "Eve to Dawn" would be guitar driven. Singer Minoru Niihara said that the lyrics has a more positive vibe than in previous releases because of the impact of the Great East Japan earthquake and the instrumental "A Light in the Dark" was dedicated by Takasaki to that tragic event.
