Song Production Information

Kobori of Kobo project

It's nice to meet everyone.
My name is Kobori of "Kobo project", and this is my first time participating in the original home version additional song production of the title which should be called the ultimate beatmania, beatmania IIDX 5th Style.
I'm still a novice young man, but I'll be an acquaintance after this.
Masa, who cooperated with me this time, is a programmer and a smiling, fearless nice guy.

Well, let's comment about the song.
While I was thinking about what personally seemed like IIDX, various factors, and Masa's craziness... I incorporated cool ideas while continuing to create the song, so "entrance" was completed through trial-and-error.
Together with the cool movie by the designer, kella, I personally think it was completed with what seemed like IIDX.

As a result of packing this and that, it became a vague "techno-like (something)", but I had trouble classifying it with a clear genre title, so I asked my senior, L.E.D..

Kobori "What genre would this be?"
L.E.D. "Well."
Kobori "... I personally intended it to be somewhat hardcore."
L.E.D. "It's not (laughs)." Wondering for a while...
L.E.D. "I wonder if it's called techno after all?"
Kobori "That seems right."

So because L.E.D., who's familiar with techno in the BEMANI series, said it's "techno", it must be techno!! So the genre was immediately decided.

Then, for the notecharts, is it difficult? Are you tired?. Yes. By the way, I couldn't clear it no matter how much I tried, while all my seniors skillfully cleared it.
However, is it perhaps not that difficult in IIDX, which has several songs with extremely high difficulty levels? There is. I'm ready for everything as a cover.

Well then, I'm looking forward to hearing from everyone again.

This song was created for the home version of beatmaniaIIDX5th style, but I can't believe it re-debuted on the arcade version!
I'm grateful to dj TAKA for creating an opportunity like this for me.

It was also my first time creating music for beatmania, so the production had repeated trial-and-error.
When I remembered the production at that time, I came up with elements which I thought were good, while trying to stuff myself with soba, so stop saying something is wrong and try adding another one, perhaps something earlier was better overall... Everyday was this feeling.

As difficult as it was, I especially have an emotional attachment to it.
By all means, everyone please enjoy playing it alongside the home version!

Video Production Information

kella

When I heard this song, an image of a speeding motorcycle came to mind, which was influenced by Y, who was seated next to me, and loves Hokkaido and motorcycles.
So, it's a speeding motorcycle movie.

The beginning and ending of everything is connected, isn't it? When something ends, something else begins.
I created a movie with the image of running towards the entrance to start something.

For that reason, it's exploding for the time being. Let me destroy it. It's the end of the world.
I hope you'll enjoy DJ.Kobo's pleasant high speed sound.

kella

It's been about a year since I was involved in this song's first appearance on the home version.
Anyways, jumping into the final stage of production, I remember it was very difficult, but... It already entered a nostalgic stage.
I still think it's just a nice song, so I wanted to make it a bit more.

The video's image...
Come to think of it, when I started creating the video, I asked the composer, kobo, "what kind of image would you like?" He gave a reply like "I'll leave it up to you", so it voluntarily became a motorcycle movie. I'm sorry. It's too late, but I hope you're not angry....

It's a song with very high speed, so everyone can also ride and play it.
Whether you are a beginner or not, I hope you'll enjoy it.
