I had never participated in anything like this before! I send a big hug to everyone involved in this production and I sincerely and eagerly hope that you are very successful”, commented Lobue.
Dmitry Luna got excited when Lobue accepted the invitation. “His voice was part of my childhood. It marked me a lot, especially in the Dragon Ball cartoon (Ball, Z, GT, Kai, Super), he dubbing the Piccolo. In Saint Seiya too, of course, but Piccolo for me is unbeatable! Especially that evil laugh”, he said.
Both met in 2013, in the backstage of an event in João Pessoa, Brazil. “The idea of inviting him to the album came last year, when he sent me a really nice message on my birthday. I was already living in Portugal and partying with friends in Porto, and as soon as I saw the message it came to my mind: 'How would it be if he participated in something from Myrkgand?' Perhaps reciting the lyrics of the introduction of the new album”, recalled Dmitry Luna. “It was like that, a sudden idea, very spontaneous, at the moment. I threw the idea on the table and he readily accepted. And here we are. Luiz has already recorded his participation and the result is incredible and epic! I can't wait for everything to be ready and released”, he added.
