Song Production Information
beatmania IIDX Musicianship Trial Official Website
"FESTA DO SOL"
Composed by Sho Maruyama, a.k.a Mt.Circle (22 years old/Saitama/University student)
As this was the category with the most applications, the final selection was extremely difficult, but one person was chosen because his song has a new style that has never existed in IIDX before, which was the decisive factor.
During the production, Osamu Kubota was somehow introduced as the music producer, and the result is a professional sound that brings out the best of the original.
Well, below is Sho Maruyama's comment.
Sho Maruyama
Good evening, I'm Mt.Circle.
I was still in the state of composing songs, so I couldn't apply for the previous public contest, but this time, I took on the challenge and applied after a long time.
Since I was going to apply, I thought about creating a genre that's never been done before, and with my tense face, I tried to make a song with a Latin-style + techno essence. The upper half is Latin and the lower half is techno. Finally, I added some avant-garde elements to make the song interesting.
I'd like to thank Osamu Kubota for his production and advices, as well as dj TAKA and the rest of the staff for their help and support. Thank you very much.
beatmania IIDX 9th style
Mt.Circle
Good evening. I'm Mt.Circle.
This time, my song became a Latin + Techno genre mix called LATIN GROOVE.
When I listened to this song, as well as the new songs and REMIXes, I once again felt that there were no genre boundaries. To be precise, should I say that when various things are mixed, something new will be born?
In terms of drinks, it's a world where you can taste green tea and coffee simultaneously, which appears as green tea, but tastes like coffee.
You can't do such things in reality (although you can do the former...), but I think music is interesting because you can do "this kind of thing".
