あなたとの出会った季節が訪れる</pre>

I had to think of what to do during the interlude.<br>
== Song Production Information ==
I wanted to know how I could incorporate the classical song into the music.<br>
=== Tatsh ===
I was finally able to link "Beethoven's Moonlight" with the feelings of heartbreak fading away in the light of the moon.<br>
I wondered about what to do with the interlude, so I tried to incorporate a classical song in it.<br>
And now this hidden track is able to be played on standard and free mode.<br>
At that time, I linked "a broken heart fading in the moonlight" with "Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata", and that's how the title was born.<br>
It's like glancing at the moon.<br>
And it's a hidden song which appears in FREE MODE at the location tests, so doesn't it appear and disappear like the moon?
-------------------------------
'''Vocals/Kanako Hoshino'''


Tatsh wrote to me saying he wanted to write a eurobeat song for me.<br>
=== Kanako Hoshino ===
Now I'm not a fan of sad songs, which I cannot describe why, but it's hard for me to sing them.<br>
Tatsh wrote this sorrowful Eurobeat song, but Hoshino hasn't sung a sorrowful song yet, so I wanted to sing this song very much, even though it was difficult for me to express. When I used an accent and sang with too much emotion during the recording, Tatsh instructed me to "try to sing it smoothly", and I sounded more mature and not childish, so I think my voice suited "Gekkou" better by doing this.<br>
I sing songs.  Sometimes, I put too much emotion into a song, and get carried away.<br>
I slightly changed how I sing before then, so it was quite difficult for me, but I saw some growth in this song. I was also able to appear in this song's movie, as they took and connected 360 degree individual photos of me in a tram, which isn't like flipping through manga, and I can't properly describe it, but it became quite cool!!! After that, they used handmade props to show an illusionary moonlight, and you can see Tokyo Tower in the background, which is worth seeing \ (~ o ~) /<br>
Tatsh told me to not sing with so much emotion, and instructed me to sing with a more adult tone.<br>
This song and video are great, and it kills two birds with one stone. Don't miss it☆
I think he wanted my voice to be like moonlight.<br>
I struggled a lot with this song and received a lot of help, but I think it was a great learning experience.<br>
For this song, I was also filmed for the movie, riding on a tram and being circled 360 degrees by the camera, but not moving at all. <br>
I thought that was really cool!<br>
Then, using props, in order to emphasize the moonlight, I was filmed near the Tokyo Tower, which was really impressive  \ (~ o ~) /<br>
This was a good song, and I got to kill two birds with one stoneDon't miss this ☆<br>


== Video Production Info ==
== Video Production Information ==
=== matsushita@tksd ===
Sorry to bother you again. My name is matsushita from TOKYO SYOKUDO.<br>
I'm graciously honored to suddenly be asked by [[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] to direct a live-action Kanako Hoshino video.


Sorry to bother you again. I'm Matsushita from Tokyo Skyudo works.<br>
This video was "difficult 'to' film".<br>
[[GOLI]] one day called me and asked if I could direct a movie featuring Kanako Hoshino. It was an honor I could not refuse from a master.<br>
... I won't say much.<br>
A suspicious person was standing alone with a tripod somewhere in Tokyo on Christmas Eve at 8:00 p.m., which was crowded with couples and female celebrities.<br>
While I was filming a demo video of the moon rising at a fixed position in a car park on a certain month at 5:00 a.m., some patrolling policemen cheered me on.<br>
A month's worth of filming applications and prepared storyboards became wasted in less than 5 minutes due to various circumstances.<br>
Now they're good memories.


Shooting: "Take up your positions!"<br>
This time, I'm impressed that the lead Hoshino didn't mind lip syncing during filming, and tried very hard to sing with all her heart in "every take".<br>
Many... difficulties came up.<br>
I told her "you don't need to sing, since you'll be singing many times", but she replied "it feels better when I sing", which moved me to tears.<br>
With us standing alone filming at 8 PM on Christmas Eve with a tripod in the middle of a metropolitan area, we looked like a celebrity couple or a pair of suspicious people.<br>
I felt her professionalism. I'm going to learn from Hoshino.<br>
For the recorded part at the parking lot, it took five hours of filming on the first of the month in order for the moon to climb up to the right position, up until the dawn, with the chill in the air, to get the one scene right.  We also were followed by groups of male fans and police while traveling.<br>
Thanks to their support, I created a full-size video from the large amount of materials gathered.<br>
Even with the latest filming technology, it seemed a waste to condense a month's worth of filming into a five minute montage and prepare a storyboard for further editing of the film. <br>
I've provided a condensed version of Hoshino's adult charm here.<br>
But now, I have good memories of the shoot.<br>
We unexpectedly reserved a certain floor in Tokyo for 5 nights, and a 2 round-trip on the Tokyo tram for filming.<br>
GOLI and [[Gyo Eguchi|VJ GYO]] were very helpful during the filming.


Hoshino was very impressive, even though the shoot was hard on her, her mouth, and vocal cords.<br>
Also, it seems you can see examples of other songs where VJ GYO and I filmed while walking with a spinning camera in the front row at the secret LIVE 2 event for around 4 hours. Please try to find them.
I remember her saying "I've sung the song so many times now." <br>
I responded "I want to feel your emotions!" with tears in my eyes.<br>
She was very professional throughout and was a quick learner.<br>
The substantial amount of work she did helped to make the filming easier for me.<br>
This definitely will increase her popularity.<br>
We also filmed on the Tokyo 5 train, taking two round trips in order to get the shot right.<br>
GOLI helped me a lot with the filming, and I also received assistance from [[VJ GYO]].<br>


In addition, VJ GYO helped for filming for four hours for one of the scenes. <br>
The colored lights that illuminated Hoshino were bought at Don Quijote in Shibuya.
Some of the scenes that he filmed also are in parts of two other song movies.  Please look for them.<br>


One other note, while we were looking at the colored lights of Shibuya, Hoshino bought a copy of Don Quixote.<br>
