Song Production Information

Mr.T

As some of you probably already knew, this song was originally made for KEYBOARDMANIA 2ndMIX.
At first I thought about leaving it intact, but I wondered if it was interesting~, so this time I made this IIDX version through trial-and-error.
With a powerful guitar sound provided by MTO, Mr.T is also very satisfied with this power fusion.

Video Production Information

VJ YUZ

RIDE~ was reborn as a super upper song.
I had the idea of giving it a live feeling (?) like manipulating a video in real time, which I created by roughly cutting and pasting NEW-3's materials from KM2nd on the spot without any particular plan or groove.

The number in the last cut = "rebroadcast"...

NEW-3

The previously produced KM2nd song RIDE~ appears in IIDX with a significant power-up.
VJ YUZ's passionate sense of overwhelming speed in weaving the harmony, caused him to undertake an enchanting transformation into "Kappa" and grow a subliminally magnificent "beard".
IIDX is wonderful.
