I occasionally listen to a CD that features many artists and vocalists. I have sometimes featured vocalists on that CD who I have grown to particularly like. Unintentionally, I listened to that same CD in the early spring. I then heard someone whose voice caught my attention. I knew right away I wanted this person to sing what I composed. I thought having this person as a vocalist was a very good idea.  
There are CDs with singers and artists included, and although there's occasionally vocalists featured among them who suit my image, when I casually listened to a CD around spring, I ended up really loving one of the vocalist's voice and lyrics in them, and I wanted this person to sing what I composed.


Without delay, arrangements were underway. As a result of discussing my wish to have this person as a vocalist for this song, I learned that this person was already doing work with major artists. But somehow, a special schedule was made, and my wish could be fulfilled. After I went to the preparatory meeting, it turned out to be vivi, who [[Keiichi Ueno]] worked with to produce "Bad Boy" from [[AC 2nd style|IIDX 2nd style]]. This may not be someone who you know, but since 2nd style released two months after the release of [[AC substream|substream]], we left everything up to Ueno. For that time, we actually could not even meet you. The world is really, how would you say, small.
I immediately completed the rough arrangement and requested to negotiate with her, and although she was already currently active as a major artist, she somehow had a special schedule available, so I was able to ask her.


In reality we tried to meet you, and you seeming to be a good-natured person made recording very smooth, and the matter of the agreements were able to be done. Seriously, the participation of everyone involved made a very special sound.
When I went to the meeting, it was somehow vivi, who participated in [[Keiichi Ueno]]'s produced [[bad boy]] from [[AC 2nd style|IIDX 2nd style]]. As some of you might know, 2nd style was actually created 2 months after [[AC substream|substream]]'s production ended, and I entrusted everything to Ueno since I was busy, so I didn't actually meet her back then. The world is really small, shall I say....


I am very pleased with this song's lyrics. The pain of love in a woman's heart were communicated very well, don't you think?
When I actually met her, she was a friendly person with an artist atmosphere, and we were able to mutually communicate very smoothly during the recording. Truly, special thanks to everyone involved.


By the way, Ms. vivi is now involved in the group iyiyim as a vocalist. Go check out their website!
I also really love this song's lyrics. They convey the sadness of love in a woman's heart, right?
 
By the way, vivi is currently active as a vocalist in the unit, iyiyim. They also seem to have a [https://web.archive.org/web/20011101022149/http://www.iyiyim.com/index.html homepage].

If I see that song lyrics are in Japanese, then the impression the song gives on someone should be memorable. Making this movie was very hard for me. (There were many restrictions that held me back.) That was sort of the reason why I could not finish the movie within the time limit. That is why I only could do a 16 color animation. I struggled a considerable amount throughout producing this movie. I cannot manage to escape the thoughts of being so ignorant about the limits of the colors used. I had so many failed attempts...
I personally think Japanese lyrics have quite a fixed image, and it's difficult to make as a movie. (There are various rules for them. A wide variety....)<br>
For that reason, I completed it as a 16-color animation, which doesn't take much time as a movie. It was very difficult. There weren't many colors appearing as I thought. I tried various things....


Oh well, I will say what is on my mind. Making this movie was very stressful. With all of this in mind, did I do okay? Saying such negative things about myself is okay. It is like me to criticize myself. The feelings of being lost and confused is what causes myself to be criticized by my peers. Continuing to be hesitant is what caused this movie to remain unfinished. Well, I am not so proud of this movie, but I feel that it is tolerable. I might be growing to like it. At the very least, I studied and drew poses I had never experienced drawing before. Yeah.  
Or rather, honestly speaking, I wondered if it was really OK, and apparently, it's OK! I was conflicted. This is a controversial video born from my confused mind. Indecision leads to indecision, and I eventually ran out of time.... well, I might quite like this. I haven't usually drawn a pose like this, and I learned something. Yeah.


With this song, dj TAKA once again made a wonderful sounding track. I still have not been proven wrong! Anything that dj TAKA makes is always fantastic!
I think dj TAKA also put quite some thought into creating this song. He did retakes for it. dj TAKA is unexpectedly a lovely person who doesn't compromise until the end.
