Song Production Information

Sota Fujimori

I remember watching an old television show called "State of the Art Technology" that showcased American electrical products. The narrator kept using that particular phrase during the show. What did it mean? It meant showcasing the latest cutting-edge technology. This gave me an idea for a song.

After I finished making it, I was impressed by how well it sounded. And now you get to hear it!

In contrast to the song beatonic nation, this was used with the latest music production hardware.
This is a fun song, and this is the first song that cyborg AKEMI has sung in Japanese.

I'll hope that you'll listen and enjoy!

Video Production Information

KAISEI & TETSU-LOW

This rhythm of minimal electronic sound was expressed with this movie.

A wide range of emotions and feelings were expressed, by changing the color of the sky and the movement of the camera throughout the scenery, using only simple camera movements.

We aimed for a well-designed video.
