Song Production Information
dj TAKA
Quadra with DJ FX.
For long-time beatmania fans, isn't it tearful just looking at this artist name?
If you listen to this track, you'll find it more tearful.
The fusion of Quadra's beautiful ambient sound with DJ FX's hard beats is a must-listen!
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
This is VJ YUZ's first movie, who supervised the overall visuals of 3rd style (while working as the main designer in another team, he gave me advice, taught me techniques, and helped GOLI and I with various tasks), as a IIDX team member!
When you try to catch the flow of a song, each sound that composes it slips through the gaps of your consciousness, and can't be grasped.
In this movie by VJ YUZ, not only the dynamism of the entire song is shown as a whole (it's usually up to this level. For example, myself...), but each sound is also precisely captured and visualized.
This results in an extremely high-dimensional movie, with the effect of repeatedly amplifying and expanding your feelings from the music.
I was so shocked when this movie was sent to me near the end of production, that I lost myself, and I remember repeatedly watching it until GOLI returned from the convenience store late at night and called out to me.
