About

The Kidou Senshi Gundam 00: "Hiroshi Kamiya come across Tieria Erde", is a single that came out in October 22th, 2008. It represents Tieria Erde, a main character of the anime and manga Gundam 00. The songs in this single are very touching, deep, and help the fans to understand how Tieria is, how he thinks and feels about the first season and part of the second, in my oppinion.

When I first heard it I had to listen to the lyrics carefully many times to understand as much as I could what Kamiya-san wanted to transmit. The lyrics of "Idea" have a deep feeling of eternity, since the title itself express that an idea is a non-physical existence that crosses over the time, something that Tieria (in this case) could hold in his hands, to say it somehow, forever.

I also believe part of this song is referring to the relationship he had with Lockon Stratos, which is important to understand the way he thinks, feels and changes over the Second Season.

"Idea" also gives a feeling of everything getting frozen. I personally think that between the two songs that come in the single, this is the one that reflects Tieria's personality best, since it seems he could live forever because he's not human.

The insturmental background of the song and the melancholy found in Kamiya-san's voice makes me shiver and, at the same time, calms me down.
