HumanLove

**HumanLove** is a music theme by Shiro Sagisu, written for the soundtrack of *SSSS.GRIDMAN*. Several variations appear throughout the anime series, in styles including orchestral, techno, and metal. The principal techno version with vocals occurs in Episode 6 and again in Episode 9. A long version was produced for the character-song album *SSSS.GRIDMAN BEST ALBUM*, with extended lyrics by Mike Wyzgowski (uncredited) and vocals by Paul Lee. That song also appears on the Original Soundtrack album.

In an interview for Onkyo Music, Sagisu explained that he wrote the techno piece first, which is used in Episode 6. The sound was intended to be reminiscent of 1990’s video game music. Using English vocals was part of creating that feeling for it. The phrases 'Human Love' and 'Robot Love' correspond to the main characters Akane and Rikka, with some relationship to other characters as well. For instance, he describes the symmetry with Anti:

"Anti, who was created by becoming Human to beat Gridman, is RobotLove."
From that techno basis, CHOKKAKU developed and performed the guitar arrangements. Masamichi Amano worked with Sagisu to do the orchestra arrangement, and conducted the orchestra. Both CHOKKAKU and Amano previously collaborated with Sagisu on the music for *Shin Godzilla*.

Human love

The only love that’s real

Makes you feel like you’re having a meal

Psychedelic crazy

Never fails to amaze me

Oh it makes you laugh

And makes you cry

Love makes me feel so high

Love makes me feel so high, so high, so high

You feel in a daze

Sometimes even forget your name

Two become one, feeling so strong

Never ever wanna be apart for too long

Robots don’t get the same love we get

The way they love, it’s more dramatic

Human love

The only love

The real love

The true love

The only love that’s real

Makes you feel like you’re having a meal

Psychedelic crazy

Never fails to amaze me

Oh it makes you laugh

And makes you cry

Love makes you feel so high

Love makes you feel so high

Love makes you feel so high

*Human Love, is more psychedelic than...*

Yea

It's robotic, dramatic, psychonautic, ecstatic

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than...*

That's right

That's robot love, human love, robot love

*Human Love, is more psychedelic than...*

Robotic, dramatic, hypnotic, ecstatic, psychedelic, psychedelic

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than... Human Love*

Robot love, human love, robot love

*Human Love, is more psychedelic than...*

Robotic, dramatic, hypnotic, ecstatic

Robot love, human love

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than...*

Robotic, robotic, dramatic, dramatic

Human love, robot love, human love, robot love

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than...*

Robotic, hypnotic, dramatic, psychedelic, psychedelic

*Human Love, is more psychedelic than...*

Robotic, hypnotic, dramatic, ecstatic, psychedelic, psychedelic

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than...*

Human love, robot love, human love

*Human Love, is more psychedelic than...*

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than...*

*Human Love, is more psychedelic than...*

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than...*

*Human Love, is more psychedelic than...*

*Robot Love, is more dramatic than... Human Love*
