Song Production Information

good-cool

~One day at the end of last year~

TAKA "Here's the production of 7th"

good-cool "What song do you want this time?"

TAKA "Do you have some ideas?"

good-cool "A song exploding with scratches? (As usual)"

TAKA "Hmm~, that's not enough... "

good-cool "A house song with lyrics as well? (As usual)"

TAKA "No~, it's already difficult"

good-cool "Well, how about something with a disco feel? (As usual)"

TAKA "Hmm~~~... something still doesn't feel right."

good-cool "Oh!! How about a trance-styled song? Like doing something after the morning♪"

TAKA "Someone else is already doing that... "

good-cool "....."

TAKA "....."

good-cool "....."

TAKA "Hey~, what's up all~, I'm dj TAKA!!"

good-cool "I don't understand what you mean!!"

TAKA "I figured out a good genre!"

good-cool "Well, why don't we combine them?"

TAKA "My stomatitis hurts... (mumbling)"

good-cool "... Are you listening to me?"

Everyone~, good morneveningello!! The blazing guitarist... cough cough... I'm very sorry.
I've challenged various genres in the past, but a genre has come to light that's especially appropriate for IIDX that I haven't touched on.
As a result of serious and heated discussions with TAKA, we decided to extract pop elements from every genre and combine them into one song. That's why this genre is "Pops".

Since this song involved extracting pop materials, regardless of what comes next, strange things occurred.

a. Backing high hat feels like house for a moment, but the four-on-the-floor kick drum couldn't be heard.

b. The rhythm seems similar to 2Step, but I think the tones around the drums feel somewhat different.

c. The groove is kind of like old disco, but it sounds like strange digital sounds.

d. The scratches have a strong appeal, but there's no sign of hearing Hip Hop.

e. It seems like proto-funk, but when you listen closely, the beat is strange and just correct.

f. Even though the backing track has a tough impression, but for some reason it has attractive female vocals.

etc.

"Somebody Like You" was born with such vague concept.
When you listen to each part that you can hear the song, surely you think of them all as pop.
The melody itself feels somewhat mysterious, but I like it a little (laughs)

I thought Mickin', who sings such an unknown song well without hesitation, wasn't just an ordinary person. Even TAKA, who was present at the recording, had an expression of, "This is an unexpected finish!"

Oh~~~, TAKA, what genre should I do from now on? (sweating)
Anyways, let's meet up with wac while eating regular curry (less than 10x) in secret!♪

It's like being able to drink a concentrated juice made up of all the different colors and tastes of good-cool music in pure, undiluted form... that's the kind of too-delicious song this is.
