Long before we had received this work from an acquaintance of the musician, Osamu Kubota had already proven himself as a very skilled musician. Even though the length and experience of his career far outweighs that of mine, we've still managed to become close friends.<br>
Osamu Kubota is a musician I've known as an acquaintance before I was involved in the beatmania series, and although he has a far longer career than me, we've become close friends.<br>
His music production primarily involves a lot of orchestra and jazz taste, and he's become quite famous, acting as a musical director for a certain famous TV drama and other such things.<br>
His music production mainly has an orchestral and jazz taste, and he's quite a famous composer, serving as a musical director for a certain famous TV drama among others.<br>
Now, Kubota's music has cultivated a completely new, fresh genre in beatmania. It's very unique in its essence, much more than what I asked from him. With that, this sole song became a symbol of the direction of 3rd style.<br>
This time, Osamu Kubota's song has pioneered a completely new, fresh genre in beatmania, which should've been quite unique, but he provided more than what I asked from him, and the result is a song that symbolizes the direction of 3rd style.<br>
Isn't it such a wonderful piece of music? The harpsichord, classical piano, church organ and so on, all of the elements give off a very baroque feeling. Everyone, please enjoy this magnificent fusion of styles to your heart's content.

Beginning like an old movie with scratches on the film, this movie is the kind of movie you're used to seeing IIDX in on a regular basis. Even the staff was like, "Ooh! It's a progressive world with a whole new medieval flavor.
This movie begins like an old movie with scratches on the film, and has a completely new medieval scent with an expanding progressive world, which caused the usually unfazed IIDX staff to say "wow!".<br>
From the beginning, we had planned to collaborate with the designers, but we hit a dead end when GOLI and I were only able to prepare one piece of material each.

This situation continued until just before production was up, and I thought I came to a situation where "I might not finish on time!", but [[Yuji Takahashi|VJ YUZ]] did a brilliant job of editing the production materials in only one day, working on it at an impossibly fast speed.<br>
It stayed that way until just before production was up, and I thought, "I might not make it! I've come to a situation where I can't make it, but I've been able to create and process materials, and VJ YUZ did a great job with the editing in just one day.
The movie is created with exactly a "Presto" style (one of the tempo indications in music terminology "which means very fast"), but it also visually conveys the passionate, fast-paced development of the song.
