Song Production Information

DJ YOSHITAKA

As everyone knows, this is KONAMI's legendary masterpiece "Bloody Tears".
Unlike SPRING RAIN, I created this song to be "played many times" instead of "being listened to it". It's a great adventure where I tried cutting the melody, forcefully modulating, and wanting to try inserting completely original phrases, and I think this remix was completed to demonstrate its true power in a special place like an arcade.

I'd like to take this opportunity to sincerely thank IGA (Castlevania series producer) for willingly overseeing this rookie's great adventure!

Anyways, it's so cool!!
I felt happy to be able to edit this movie with these wonderful materials.
I want to use this too! By all means, I also want this to appear here~! I repeatedly felt conflicted.
If you're a Castlevania fan, you should surely understand this happiness!
It's a waste to complicate it, so I made the movie without changes using the materials.

Thank you very much to IGA for willingly agreeing to use the materials, and to everybody who helped me with this song!
Thanks to them, this is a special song which remains in IIDX history.
