Quite a lot of time has passed since I first got involved in the production of beatmania.<br> | |||
When I first started out, my senior colleagues taught me various things to be aware of, or rather, what sorts of music, arrangements, and game patterns don't fit beatmania.<br> | |||
• | For example:<br> | ||
• | <br> | ||
• | • Don't be repetitive, have progression<br> | ||
And so on.<br> | • Use a lot of sounds, the flashier the better<br> | ||
• Don't assign bass sounds to the keys<br> | |||
<br> | |||
However, through | And so on and so forth.<br> | ||
These ways of doing things certainly made sense in terms of the game.<br> | |||
The organ | I wrote my own songs along these lines as I simultaneously directed outside artists in the same way, and that's how it unfolded.<br> | ||
<br> | |||
For the vocals, I | However, through various songs, I gradually started to learn that there are other different ways to create interesting songs.<br> | ||
During the very last opportunity for beatmania, I attempted to create a good, interesting song while intentionally using all of these supposedly bad techniques.<br> | |||
That song turned out to be fellows.<br> | |||
Oh | It's also a message of gratitude to the great beatmania, which made me into who I am.<br> | ||
<br> | |||
The organ in this song is in an extremely simple style: no progression, very few sounds.<br> | |||
Actually, from the time the song begins until it ends, it repeats the same four measures, with absolutely no progression.<br> | |||
The number of tracks, or "the number of sounds," doesn't even crack 10.<br> | |||
Both of these were things that supposedly didn't fit beatmania.<br> | |||
<br> | |||
For the vocals, I had the staff search for people who have an affinity to beatmania, but there was only one person who could fit the bill, so I asked for Sana.<br> | |||
Officially, this my first time working with Sana, but I think she sung better than any vocalist I've recorded up to this point.<br> | |||
It was very cool to see her sing, it was like a wind blowing through the booth.<br> | |||
I felt very moved that she became an amazing musician through various experiences ever since she started out in beatmania.<br> | |||
Oh, right, I heard that Sana's official website is open, give it a look too. | |||
