From "beatmania IIDX", night and day, I think of you and sing.

Yeah, yeah. It's a garden. Hello. It's a garden. Garden.<br>
The lyrics are in English, so I think it's difficult to understand, but as Aono explains right down below, it's about a middle-aged gardener lecturing about how he prunes Niwaki in the shape of rabbits and flamingos. Therefore, it's a garden.


Yes, yes. It's a garden. Thank you. It's a garden. Garden. The lyrics are in English so it's probably hard to understand, but as Miss Aono explains below, it's basically a little gardener girl talking about how she prunes bushes into the shape of rabbits and flamingos. After all, it is "garden".
When I write songs for IIDX, I think about various things when creating them, like my role, or the response it'll receive.<br>
 
However, this time the [[Tatsuya Shimizu|IIDX sound director]] said in general, "let's try making what you like without caring about various things, gahaha", and since a pre-Chinese movement occurred, I simply took advantage of this, and created a song I liked, with notecharts which are fun to play.<br>
When I write songs for IIDX ... a lot of things go through my mind, like what kind of song I should be writing, or what kind of response it will receive. However, this time the IIDX sound directory basically said, "Well, I guess it'd be alright if this time y'all just wrote whatever kind of song you wanted! Hehe!" So I definitely took advantage of it, and I got to write the kind of song I wanted to hear, and get the kind of note chart I thought would be fun. The hyper chart is just about the right difficulty for me to enjoy. The another is just about the right difficulty for someone much better than me to enjoy.
Those who enjoy playing it on HYPER are probably just as skilled as me.<br>
ANOTHER is probably for someone much more skilled than me.


You might think that Miss Aono Rie, the singer for this song, is just another talent we picked up this time around, but actually we go back to college. Even then, everybody knew one simple thing about her: she was really naturally good at singing. Even so, she'd get relegated to the backing chorus a lot. We'd always sit together in big groups in the living room and watch the performances and eat soba.
About the singer Rie Aono, in case that you were wondering, she's from my same university circle at that time.<br>
Even back then, she was a natural vocalist who was best known for simply being "good at singing".<br>
She was a background chorus singer for Kohaku from her student days.<br>
We watched it with many others in the living room while eating soba.


Oh, yes, since the designers tried so hard this time around it looks like the whole song has a video to go with it; even though they came out with a demo earlier on, as usual it was down to the wire to get the whole video finished, so I'm really grateful for their efforts. I figured, since it is "garden", maybe the gardener girl would show up in the video and start pruning trees into flamingos and rabbits, and I was really excited to see if that would come about, but it looks like instead of a gardener they figured a girl in a school uniform would suit the song better, and that's all right. The first time I saw it running on the arcade cabinet, I couldn't help but slip out a, "Whoa, that's cool!" GOLI's movies just really do it for me.
That's right, thanks to the designers' efforts, all the songs have movies and animations, so I'm grateful that this song was included, which was barely created on time as a demo, as per usual.<br>
Anyways, since it's a garden, I was excited to see the movie about a middle-aged gardener pruning Niwaki in the shape of rabbits and flamingos, but it feels like the uniformed girl fits the song better than the middle-aged gardener, so the result is alright.<br>
When I first saw it in the cabinet, I basically said "wow, that's amazing".<br>
I really surrender to GOLI.

When I first heard this captivating melody and rhythm, I immediately thought of an Oscar Wilde fairy tale.


The first time I sang along to this captivating melody and rhythm,
The Nightingale and the Rose<br>
I was reminded of an Oscar Wilde fairy tale.
A thorn and a drop of blood before dawn<br>
 
A dog lying down
The Nightingale and the Rose
A thorn and a drop before dawn
And a dog lays down to sleep


I hope you can see that mysterious garden.
Please try to imagine this mysterious garden.

W: " ........, huh, that's too bad" *angry*<BR>

Y'know, doing roses right is a big deal, it really is. That one picture took longer than some songs did.
No, roses are difficult, seriously. The drawings take more time than other songs.<br>

By the way, I think this is the best song wac's written so far.

I like it a lot. No, even as much as he likes cats.
I like it very much. No, as a fellow cat lover.<br>
I've always wanted to have the time to do a nice, quiet piece like this.
If I have time, I'd like to also try and create a quiet movie.
