Song Production Information
NAOKI
One belief I have is that to be pop, an absolutely essential element is to be OK with a melodious tune during the song production process. While prelude is instrumental, it's a trance-interpretation with an overall melodic feel.
I named it "prelude" because it was originally created with the motif of a prelude for the full version of "STARS☆☆☆".
Video Production Information
F-FLY
I like this song for its solid composition and development, and speed...
And because I liked it, it was very easy to make a mov for it.
When I heard this song, a general vision immediately came to my mind...
And its theme~ is "something IIDX-styled".
I wanted to try creating something that IIDX designers often do well at, by incorporating natural elements such as a blue sky and the ocean.
(I personally like those things... I wanted to imitate them)
I still can't create as well as other people, but I'm doing my best.
