Song Production Information

Fujii

An excellent trance track where the eerie voice of a goddess leads you through a flowing 16-dimensional space.
The buildup of synth riff patterns in the chart truly feels like trance, doesn't it?

Video Production Information

Chihiro

At first the button sounds were too loud and I thought "???", but when I started to hear the sounds in the background, they were so cool!!
Since the sounds are on the strong side, I incorporated strong blue patterns all throughout the song.
I wonder what the woman drifting in the background is saying...some sort of chant?

Staff Comments

I imagine a lot of you first heard this song from the movie on the TOP RANKERS page.
I feel like the song sounds different depending on your state of mind when listening to it...don't you feel that way?
(By the way, the Another chart was difficult to begin with, and I made it even more difficult...sorry, I can't do it.
Tense up on the last part (rest omitted))
