Agency Art One Entertainment announced on Tuesday that singer Maon Kurosaki passed away suddenly on February 16 after a worsening of her chronic illness.
Kurosaki underwent emergency surgery for epidural hematoma (bleeding between the skull and the membrane surrounding the brain) in September 2021, after collapsing during the middle of a live-streamed concert earlier that month.
She died on February 16, 2023 following a period of declining health, after being diagnosed with an epidural hematoma in 2021.
On September 22, 2023, the day Kurosaki had debuted, a memorial event had been held with the name Maon Kurosaki Memorial Days Event "Future & Past", at Shirokane Takanawa Selene.
On September 30, 2023, a crowdfunding project was launched by Art One Entertainment to finish the documentary Maon Kurosaki: The Movie "If You Become Me That Day", which was scheduled to be released in Q2 2023, but was left in a state of uncertainty after Kurosaki's death. The documentary was aiming to follow the artist's path from the collapse in 2021, to the reemergence with the live event in July 31, 2022. To provide an insight into the film, a trailer was also released with the crowdfunding announcement, which was originally suggested by Kurosaki herself during a production meeting for the documentary.

黒崎真音 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
あの日々を恋焦がれても
もう一つだけ
残された道があるとしたら
そう、此処にある
信念(おもい)の炎(ひ)を
胸に灯せばいい
浅葱の夕闇に、
黎明の地、三日月
濡れた明星(あけぼし)
時代(とき)が巡っても
心の奥で、呼んでいる
遥か彼方で、鳴り響く声明(こえ)
信じた契(ちぎり)、貫く
永い追憶(ゆめ)の瞬きを
この身に刻んで
明けゆく空に、心向ければ
痛みの本意(いみ)に気付くだろう
色褪せない閃光(かがやき)を
抱いて、黒き闇へ
歩き出すよ
そう、哀しみは
幸福(しあわせ)と隣合わせに在る
そう望むなら
慟哭の涙を拭いたい
そう、虚無(むな)しさの
先にある真実を見つめて
立ち込む闇雲に、惑わされぬように
握りしめた掌
揺れる面影
耳の奥、木霊(こだま)した
声音(こわね)は、変わらぬまま
この胸叩き、この背を押して
何度も立ち上るから
吹き抜ける疾風のように
いつも側にいて
笑いかけてた、一人じゃないと
最期まで闘う強さを
忘却(わす)れない、心に誓った
希望(ひかり)の炎(ひ)をずっと
絶やさないよ
桜、舞い散る
刹那、愛を求めて
生命(いのち)震わせ
誰かを想いたい
守りたい、枯れゆく日まで
今始まる、物語へ
何度も咲き誇るため
永い追憶(ゆめ)の瞬きを
追いかけ続ける
遥か彼方で、鳴り響く声明(こえ)
迷い砕き、天を裂く
永い追憶(ゆめ)の瞬きを
この身に刻んでく
明けゆく空に、心向ければ
使命(すべて)の本意(いみ)に
気付くだろう
色褪せない閃光(かがやき)を
抱いて、遠き未来(あす)へ
歩き出そう
The lyrics of 黎鳴-reimei- by 黒崎真音 convey a sense of longing for the past and the search for hope in the midst of darkness. The phrase "もう、戻れない" (mou, modorenai) translates to "I can't go back anymore," implying a sense of nostalgia for the days gone by. The singer yearns for those days, but acknowledges that there is only one path remaining. This path is represented by the "信念の炎を胸に灯せばいい" (shinnen no hi wo mune ni tomoseba ii), meaning "If you light the flame of conviction in your heart." The lyrics encourage finding hope in the deepening twilight and the shining crescent moon, even as time passes and a distant voice resonating with a declaration rings out.
The lyrics also speak of the intertwined nature of sadness and happiness, and the desire to wipe away tears of anguish. The phrase "そう、哀しみは幸福と隣合わせに在る" (sou, kanashimi wa shiawase to tonari awase ni aru) translates to "Yes, sadness is next to happiness." It suggests that one can find happiness if they desire it, even amidst sorrow. The lyrics urge the listener to face the truth that lies beyond emptiness, and to hold on to the memories and experiences that have shaped them. This resilience is symbolized by the recurring image of a strong wind blowing through, signifying the determination to continue walking forward, even in the face of darkness.
Overall, the song 黎鳴-reimei- speaks to the themes of longing for the past, embracing hope in the midst of darkness, and finding strength to overcome obstacles.
