Background
"Level 5: Judgelight" is the first single for which fripSide was credited as a group for its lyrics. The title, coined by Satoshi Yaginuma, combines the words "judgement" and the "light" emitted by Mikoto Misaka's Railgun ability. Yaginuma described it as representing the "light of justice that gathers around Mikoto as a collective of longing, trust, and bond".[2]
