Song Production Information

dj TAKA

Although it has a somewhat unique game flavor, this track is inspired by the club scene.
The trance scene around me recently feels slightly less psychedelic, and it feels like tracks with brighter atmosphere and vocals will be more prominent in the future.
In that sense, my collaboration with GOLI, who captured the club sound in this track, meant a lot to me, and I almost cried when I first saw the movie.
Of course, the interesting thing about music is that it feels different for each listener, and I'd be happy if everyone can enjoy this track with their own feelings.

Dance Maniax

The title "ABSOLUTE" means "definitely" or "perfectly unmatched". As title suggests, this number is filled with positivity and brightness. The refrain phrases used in the beginning and ending sections are so impressive, that you won't forget once you hear them. The vibrant synths give you happiness. The middle section suddenly becomes melodious, and its balance with the main phrase is exquisite. This song demonstrates dj TAKA's skill, who also composed "Quickening".

Video Production Information

GOLI

GOLI here.
I became addicted to dj TAKA's songs, so I tried to create a movie for the first time.
Drawing animation materials, adding effects, and editing. It was fun.
I wasn't familiar with this process, so I learned various things under VJ YUZ's guidance, and it somehow ended like this by repeatedly using VJ YUZ's techniques.
However, it took me longer than I expected, and I worked on this song while ignoring the system screens (other than movies such as SELECT and gameplay screens) I was originally in charge of.
That's why I had to make up for time towards the end...

Personally, dj TAKA's recent songs, all have sounds I like, so I quite like them.
dj TAKA's songs are high quality for games, and somehow remain in your mind just by listening to them.
And he uses various distinct sounds, which results in his skill of creating the eventual song.
Every time he does this, it provides me with a brand-new challenge.

The songs in famous trance CDs (which I mostly borrow from VJ YUZ) are certainly wonderful, and I often listen to them, but when I hear dj TAKA's arrangements and songs, there's something different about them.
I've only participated in creating button-pressing animations and materials for movies until now.
That was also my initial plan, but this phrase "ABSOLUTE" remained in my mind, and I wanted to try and create a movie for dj TAKA's song from scratch.
So I unreasonably requested VJ GYO to let me do it.

I felt a brand-new sensation.
If I somehow have another opportunity, I want to challenge myself to create a different type of movie.

Staff Comments

It's an enjoyable song, so I tried to make it feel enjoyable.
