DUSTCELL
TOMOSHIBI Lyrics, Music & Arrangement: Misumi
PROFILE
DUSTCELL is a music duo composed of vocalist EMA and composer Misumi, two kindred spirits who crossed paths after individual journeys—EMA as a vocalist, Misumi as a Vocaloid producer. Since the inception of DUSTCELL, they have captivated listeners with a sound that is both haunting and deeply human, releasing work with unwavering intensity and performing with raw emotional resonance.
Their music is a descent into shadowed realms—wounds, sorrow, solitude, and fleeting life—all laid bare in vivid sonic form. Yet even in the darkest corners, they seek out fragments of light; and in moments of brightness, they do not shy away from the allure of the dark. It is within this fragile balance that DUSTCELL finds its voice.
Unafraid of transformation, they embrace the shifting tides of their creative impulse, allowing it to guide their ever-evolving expression. Each song is not just performed but inhabited—infused with breath, blood, and soul. On stage, their presence blurs the line between art and being, as if the music itself were alive.
Through their work, DUSTCELL hopes to be more than just a sound—to become a sanctuary, a form of release, a quiet salvation for those who listen.

COMMENT
▼EMA
What does it really mean to be “right,” as we confront unjust malice throughout life?
In a world with so much trivial discord these days, I was really struck by the protagonist Rudo’s youthful and sincere purity, how he discovers what’s important to him despite being ostracized, and how he fights with all his might for his friends.
I’m deeply honored to be able to contribute to a title I love, and I’ve put my heart and soul into the track “TOMOSHIBI”so that it embodies Rudo and his crew’s “gachi,” intensely authentic way of life. I hope you enjoy it along with the anime.
▼Misumi
We spun together words that combine our own lives with how the protagonist Rudo continues to survive and thrive after being thrown into the Pit, no matter what injustice he encounters.
We’d like it to be a tune that lights up the soul of everyone who hears it.

This track’s lyrics and music reveal my inner mind more than any other Paledusk song yet.
I think we’ve succeeded in creating a sound that also fits the world of the manga!
I can’t wait to experience the moment the Gachiakuta anime and “HUGs” play on screen, together with fans!
▼DAIDAI
I think there’s a lot of overlap between the protagonist Rudo and the constant struggles we experience throughout life, bruised but not broken by senselessness and despair. I put my soul into creating this song like I was projecting myself onto him.
It is a song that transforms adversity into something to love and own, and will make the world of the manga more immersive! I hope you check it out.
▼TSUBASA
Paledusk’s new track “HUGs” will be the Gachiakuta OP, and is our first tie-up with an anime.
It has music devotedly crafted by DAIDAI and lyrics composed by KAITO. Both are amazing and in touch with the vibe of the series.
I hope you really enjoy it together with the Gachiakuta world.
▼BOB
Just as objects have a soul, there is also soul and feeling in music. “HUGs” is a creation packed with the full range of human emotions and feelings even greater than that.Just like Rudo fights, we fight the world with sound. I hope you enjoy it!
