=== Kanako Hoshino ===
This song was made by the unit Caldeira feat.Kanako Hoshino unit!? This first English word is read as Karudera, a duo consisting of DJ Yoshitaka, who has taken care of me since [[D.A.N.C.E.!|my BEMANI debut]], and TOMOSUKE, another person I talked to and became friends with during [[BEMANI EXPO]], who wrote a song for me for the first time, and they created this song together.<br>
Since "INFERNO" means flames, I'm wearing a red dress in the movie, which looks moe, or rather, it's on fire.<br>
Hoshino has appeared in [[SPARK !|movies]] [[Gekkou|alone]] until now, and this time, three people appear, so it's a must-see☆彡<br>
Also, I haven't sung this genre until now, and had a mature-ish impression of it, so I guess I'm very embarrassed to say that the lyrics are also mature-ish (*^_^*). That's what I wrote. Therefore, I want everyone to play, watch, and listen to this proud song many times, so if you're reading this, please immediately visit the arcade!!
 
=== DJ Yoshitaka ===
TOMO-chin, who loves Brazil more than anybody I know, said while drinking espresso, "I seriously love Brazil.... ha..", so I replied "I also love Brazil", while drinking my café au lait with 90% added milk, and that was the moment this song was born.<br>
The sound of its birth was so loud that I covered my ears and said, "isn't this seriously similar to Gian's singing", and then TOMO-chin sadly shook his head...
 
We passed by each other just a bit.
 
=== TOMOSUKE ===
This is an ambitious song by a duo who deeply loves Brazil, who blasted the backing track late at night, while singing and thinking up the melody.<br>
Since we have very similar musical goals, the conversation quickly went from smooth love → wedding ceremony → childbirth.<br>
By the way, as someone who was living a reserved life, I appeared in the PV due to Yoshi-kun's elaborate plot, but I naturally don't play the Rhodes intensely like that (laughs). It's truly impossible.

=== matsushita@tksd / TOKYO SYOKUDO ===
Sorry to bother you again. I'm matsushita from TOKYO SYOKUDO.<br>
This is suddenly my third time participating here, so it's written as TOKYO SYOKUDO (3) in red and white.<br>
Continuing from my previous video "Gekkou" from [[AC HAPPY SKY|HAPPYSKY]], I was requested to make another Kanako Hoshino live-action video.<br>
I'm truly honored.
 
This video was discussed in advance with the sound designers, and when I received their story, its concept image already started.<br>
[[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] started drawing pictures on a whiteboard, representing everyone. (... with his own handwriting!)<br>
On the day the song title "INFERNO" was decided, I decided its image with the following three points.<br>
"There's a sofa"<br>
"There's a three-person seating arrangement with Hoshino at the center"<br>
"The three of them are fashionable"
 
Well, since I already established a solid image of it, and although the story seemed relatively easy to start making, the final point was personally the most difficult.<br>
I'm in the completely opposite end of the endlessly fashionable position, and with my poor fashionable knowledge, I learned about various cultures, and spent the entire day intently listening to the song while thinking about it.<br>
Oh, is it going to be difficult?
 
However, when we actually worked on it, the storyboard passed the first draft.<br>
When we went location scouting, we decided on a location in less than three days, which perfectly matched the image the staff and I had. Hoshino looks mature and cute in the deep crimson dress which reflects against the black and white concept color.<br>
TOMOSUKE's secret sound, the organ keyboard, was transported from his home to the rented studio.<br>
When we finished filming, it seemed like assembling a puzzle while following a blueprint, or making a surprising mousse at a king's restaurant, and I unusually completed it almost like the first storyboard (laughs), and it was a video which was blessed with both the song and staff.<br>
([[Gyo Eguchi|VJ GYO]], GOLI, thank you very much for your cooperation)
 
I'd be happy if this video further conveys Hoshino's charm, who became more mature and cute.<br>
(... What about the other two?)
 
In the video's second half, during the Caldeira duo (DJ Yoshitaka and TOMOSUKE)'s low angle scene, I ended up slightly cutting the section where the "young CHAGE ●S part" clearly appeared from the person's strong request, by a total of one second and two frames, so I'd like to apologize to all Caldeira fans across Japan.
 
It ended up being very long, but someday, we'll be able to release the full-size version of the trio, including the two people performing on both sides, and I'm looking forward to the day when all 16 patterns of the "young CHA●● AS part" will be revealed.
