神城サラ

Real Name: Sara Maria Moreira｜Vocalist of NAjNA

Born to a Portuguese mother and a Japanese father, Sara is of mixed heritage. From a young age, she was deeply drawn to poetry and languages — exploring not only major European tongues but also Latin and Hebrew. When she was twelve, her mother passed away from illness. In the years that followed, she gradually began to connect with her Japanese father, whom she had never met before, and under his guidance, she moved to Japan at fifteen to begin a new life.

Her high school years in Japan were anything but easy. Barely able to speak Japanese at first, she endured long periods of isolation. The one who reached out to her was Nobuo Kiritani, a classmate whose family ran a ramen shop near Hachiōji Station. Whenever Sara was hurt or exhausted, she would stop by Kiritani Ramen, where Nobuo would quietly serve her a warm bowl and sit with her in silence. His gentle presence became her greatest source of comfort in a foreign land. Over time, she mastered Japanese, and by her final year, she won a national literary award for her Japanese writing before entering Sophia University’s Department of Philosophy.

Music, for Sara, has always been inseparable from poetry and philosophy. Yet her artistic path was never smooth — she once lost her way, abandoning music entirely. Her encounter with the young drummer Mei Hirose became a turning point. Their shared loneliness and intensity resonated deeply, giving birth to the overwhelming presence of the “Dark Queen” who would later define her stage persona. The songs they created together carried an emotional power so profound that they could move audiences to tears.

For Luna, Sara is both an idol and a mysterious, unexpectedly gentle soul. On the night they first met, a slightly drunk Sara leaned on Luna affectionately, speaking with childlike warmth and planting soft kisses on her cheek. In that fleeting moment, the figure known as the “Dark Queen” revealed a hidden side — not of divine perfection, but of a lonely human being longing for connection.
