The "color" surrounding me is a sad blue that dissolves into the sky. The transparent vocals color the worldview, so to speak, it's trance! | |||

If you're familiar with the [[Naoki Maeda|NM]]-produced dance pop song [[HIGHER (NM feat. SUNNY)|HIGHER]], CHIYOKO, who's also known as Sunny, is featured in this trance track. It's titled "Colors", which is also 6th style's theme, but I actually had the color blue in mind when I created it. The two synths I often use to create trance music are both a beautiful blue color, and this track is an extension of that image. | |||
It is strange to say it myself, but perhaps the songs I make contain a blue image, don't they? It's not a deep blue, but a pale blue, like floating in the sky.... | |||
YUZ, who created the movie without any special meetings, has a good understanding of my musicality, and caused me to cry a little when I saw this movie once production finished. I hope you'll enjoy it as complex art combined with visuals...... that was self-praised. | |||

I didn't plan to make this video at all, but before I knew it, I became in charge of it... | |||
Since players can't view the center of the screen and appreciate it while playing moderately dense notecharts, I thought about various ways to make it so they could enjoy the alternating colors and feel the large moving links. | |||
The entire process was difficult until I had a clear image of the artwork. | |||
