Song Production Information

I think games are always like this, but the feeling of making normal music is slightly different.
Although I already understood these feelings, this song reminded me of various things.
Music games are difficult to play, and there are 7 buttons which obstruct you like a wall...
By all means, please comfortably and relentlessly hit the buttons repeatedly.
Video Production Information
HES
The outer wall movie was my first task in the IIDX series.
If you're a core fan, I think you'll recognize the sampling masters MEGA name, "Ah! That person!", but I'm happy to work in such a way this time.
Anyways, I made the video while thinking it would easily liven up the song.
Since I first heard the song, I visualized an image of a large crowd of something which formed an electronic space.
It wasn't interesting to just draw serious wireframe images, so I aimed for a creepy smile near the end of the video as a gag, what did you think?
In order for the movie quality to go UP, I asked VJ YUZ to provide me with some advice, "It seems like a ○company's vector scan of a game" was what he said. I'm grinning.
