Song Production Information

Y&Co.

This song somehow has a marching image.
It sounds a bit like a sports meet.
For the main riff, I wanted to avoid having so-called epic trance-styled synth sounds (get it?), so it became this synth timbre.
The sound somehow smells like this, and that became the title...
Is it alright to write these sentences such as "that happened" or "this happened"? (laughs)

Video Production Information

F-FLY

I used a basic "flower" motif from the title, "Smell Like This".

From the beautiful sound image, I first used a more delicate "character" font, but when it appeared on the cabinet monitor, it was all messed up... I saw it.
I changed the font while wiping away my tears.
Game designers are always facing such problems, which I thought was a creative occupation, but it's quite a craftsmanship.

It's like this and that.
I aimed for a MOVIE with pretty colors layered into it, but it resulted in this.
F-FLY, who likes layering, isn't skilled at creating clear MOVIEs. No matter what I did, the colors become dull when layered, so I tried to be careful while in disarray.
