NYAN is also an homage to the fictional Japanese vocaloid popstar Hatsune Miku (hence the name). In some sense, it can be viewed as a spiritual predecessor to the monumental L., G. & S. + T., which would dominate the band’s output for years to come. In this regard, it marks the premier performance of Pedro’s Domain, first of the classic tunes from the L., G. & S. + T. era.
