− | [[Lain Iwakura]]'s bear suit appears several times in the [[Serial Experiments Lain (anime)|anime]]. It provides her with comfort when in intimidating situations, such as when using a [[NAVI]] for the first time in a long time. It also functions as Lain's pajamas. | + | '''''Cyberia Layer_2''''' is a compilation album of techno by [[Chikada Wasei]]. It is a sequel to 1998's ''[[Serial Experiments Lain: Cyberia Mix|serial experiments lain sound track Cyberia Mix]]'' and was released as part of the 20th anniversary celebrations for the franchise. |
| | | |
− | Lain also has a bear hat that appears only in [[Layer 01]] when she turns on her NAVI.
| + | In addition to Wasei, the album contains big name features from across the Japanese dance music landscape: Q'HEY, one of the fathers of Japanese techno; KO KIMURA, known for popularizing electro and acid house; Hideo Kobayashi, who works in deep house and techno; and TaQ, a composer known mostly for his contributions to the ''beatmania'' series of rhythm games. Notably, remixes of ""s"peEd" and "Cloudy, with occasional rain" from the original ''Cyberia Mix'' are included on ''Layer_2''. "Cloudy" is erroneously credited to Wasei on this album, when it was actually produced by Akira Takemoto. |
| | | |
− | Although its screentime is very limited, the bear suit has left a powerful impact on the fandom and bear motifs can be seen in a lot of Lain fanart.
| + | ''Cyberia Layer_2'' was unveiled at the "serial experiments lain 20th Anniversary Event" at CIRCUS Tokyo club on the 7th of July 2018, which also featured [[Chiaki J. Konaka]], [[Yoshitoshi ABe|yoshitoshi ABe]] and [[wikipedia:Kaori Shimizu (voice_actress)|Kaori Shimizu]] in attendance. A limited edition promo CD, ''"Cyberia Layer_2 JJ's Bootleg Mix"'', was given away at this event. |
| | | |
− | == Meaning == | + | The packaging for the album was designed by yoshitoshi ABe. Purchase of the physical edition included a download code for the two songs from ''JJ's Bootleg Mix''; the DJ mix as an MP3, and the remix of "Duvet" as a WAV. |
− | Lain's pajamas are meant to shield her from the outside world. Every time she wants to talk to her [[family]], she wears them.<ref>https://www.animenostalgiabomb.com/serial-experiments-lain-trippy-internet-anime-animerica-september-1999/</ref>
