== Song Production Information == | |||

==== Kakuta a.k.a L.E.D. ==== | |||
"What's happening now?"<br> | |||
",,,,,,, It's something wonderful." | |||
That's why it's EPIC TRANCE.<br> | |||
When people think of trance, they think about Euro, but it's part of Epic. Even around me, goa and psychedelic music are declining. Except for one person, myself. | |||
Aside from that, this EPIC TRANCE song is my first collaboration with Togo-chef.<br> | |||
I've remixed Togo-chef's songs, had him play the guitar on my tracks etc., and provided materials, but this is the first time in our long relationship that he has participated in the guitar arrangement from the production stage.<br> | |||
If I recall one year ago, he taught me various things at work, as I was a beginner who didn't understand left and right,,,, but this story is becoming long, so I'll stop. | |||
Well, halfway through production of this track, I inserted programmed guitars, but it wasn't good, and I hesitated and wondered what~to~do, so I asked Togo-chef to replace it and start from the beginning. As a result, I'm glad he was able to participate.<br> | |||
I think the addition of Togo-chef's acoustic guitar produced an indescribable, idyllic, and bright track. | |||

==== L.E.D. ==== | |||
'''"What's happening now?"''' | |||
'''",,,,,,, It's something wonderful."''' | |||
That's why it's EPIC TRANCE. | |||
There's a guitar solo in the middle of this track, and my original plan was to have Sana sing this melody, but as the schedule didn't fit and I didn't have time to think of the lyrics, so I inserted the programmed guitar from the demo stage.<br> | |||
However, I felt that something was missing, perhaps as a result from my poor programming skills, so I discussed with Togo-chef for him to play live guitar this time. Furthermore, he suggested an arrangement plan for the song.<br> | |||
So, I tried to put it in the track, and yes, it feels very good! The peaceful image of the track is emphasized, which felt idyllic and bright. Thank you very much, Togo-chef! | |||
In other words, I created "SOMETHING WONDERFUL" with a relatively all right result. | |||
== Video Production Information == | |||
=== beatmania IIDX 5th style -new songs collection- === | |||
==== Yasi ==== | |||
Well, the home of this type of music is the European and UK scene.<br> | |||
My first impression when I heard this track was "European Super Express".<br> | |||
Or rather, going through a self-thinking circuit as usual, I connected the refreshing melody to the wonderful scenery from the train window when I went to Switzerland last fall. | |||
Oh, L.E.D. makes his first appearance in the movie, being deep in thought by the window. | |||
=== beatmania IIDX 6th style === | |||
==== Yasi ==== | |||
Hello. I'm Yasi, who's in charge of the home version. | |||
Although I asked L.E.D. about the origin of this title before I created the movie, I ended up making a content that has little to do with it. Oh, this happens every time.... | |||
Since the most recent familiar home of EPIC is the UK, I tried to cram my memories of when I went to Switzerland last year, how was it? | |||
Actually, I later realized that there is a clip of a famous UK artist that is the same material as this "train window" movie, although the vehicle is differen and this is really coincidental. | |||
