Trivia
- Both Real and sometime mark Aya Sakuma's debut in BEMANI.
- Real and G2 being crossed over also mark his only appearance outside of the beatmania IIDX series.
- Real's DanceDanceRevolution graphics were created by Chris Won.
- Real's overlays were removed from the beatmania IIDX arcade games as of beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro due to technical issues.
- Unused sound data for Real can be found in REFLEC BEAT groovin'!! Upper. Its internal ID is the same one used for 男々道, indicating it was supposed to appear as part of the 8th Set (PHQUASE's SELECTION) of the BEMANI MUSIC FOCUS unlocking system, but was replaced.
- Real is unlockable in beatmania IIDX INFINITAS from June 3rd, 2020, after purchasing its charts with BITs.
Song Production Information
AYA
To summarize, it's "real".
In order to best express this, I fused an inorganic world (which feels like a dead world) with a human-like, warm, and rustic feel (humanity) in my own style, which made it feel "real".
Saying this makes me sound like a smart person (laughs), so by all means, please play and listen to it in beatmania IIDX 5th style.
By the way, I was inspired by TAKA's Direction to include the Synth Lead (solo) in the song's end part.
Video Production Information
GOLI
It's finally here! An energetic DRUM'N'BASS song!!
Hoho!!!
2 days before the upload
GOLI "◯◯◯. I drew something like this."
VJ GYO "...... Perhaps it fits this song. But then...... "
GOLI "?"
VJ GYO "This is just like my student days, GOLI."
GOLI "??"
VJ GYO "Well, wasn't it when I chopped bamboo behind my house using a sword?"
GOLI "???"
It's REAL.
Below is trivia GOLI knows about VJ GYO's student days (in college)
- He practiced Chinese martial arts.
- He rode his motorcycle on a mountain pass.
- He chopped bamboo (laughs).
"Would these animations be alright for this song?" (Written as a haiku)
And so it was decided.
VJ GYO
"I wonder if this is a very dramatized story." (Written as a haiku)
It's true that it's a "stoic DRUM'N'BASS song which overlaps with the image of a samurai who pursues the path of body and mind", but (there's also an instance of it being used in a certain famous international artist's promotional video).
