Song Production Information

Shinji Ushiroda

This time, I was in charge of creating this clubjazz song and notecharts for beatmania.
Regarding this song, I unexpectedly made it quickly from when I touched the keyboard, and if I had to point out what I paid attention to (?), I was conscious of creating a genre which hasn't been made before in CS songs. But, its atmosphere changed from the demo stage, which troubled the designer in charge of its movie, but....
Since I joined KONAMI, I've had many opportunities to participate in music games, but this is the first time I wrote an original instrumental song, so it was very memorable. I'd be happy if musicians and gamers both enjoy playing this song.

Video Production Information

VJ IM

This is my first time participating in creating a IIDX movie.
The given song genre was CLUB JAZZ, and its theme is "freedom...", so I tried an expression which I don't usually use much. So, I thought about mixing all the live-action footage, 3DCG, and 2D animations together, and started creating this video.
When I was making it, I realized that it's quite difficult for the three to co-exist.... I'm basically a designer, so I made it while paying attention to the screen design, but as I progressed through the production, it turned into a mess after all.
However, I often VJed at club jazz events, so I wonder if it's great that it feels slightly off....
