Ever since my [[Last Message|first euro song]] in [[AC 7th style|IIDX 7th Style]], I became completely addicted to eurobeat... just a bit.<br> | |||
To tell you how addicted I | To tell you how addicted I am, I have a cable channel at home that is dedicated to eurobeat without me knowing it.<br> | ||
It has nothing to do with this... you might not know this, but I'm still inexperienced in eurobeat production, | It has nothing to do with this... you might not know this, but I'm still inexperienced in eurobeat production, so listening to this music is a continuous process of discovery.<br> | ||

Or rather, | Or rather, I think it's important to be exposed to something new everyday, even if it takes a bit of time, if you are going to try to master it.<br> | ||
"Try without fail everyday". This | "Try without fail everyday". This is true not only in music, but in all fields, right?<br> | ||

That's not the case. I'm learning about various genres from other channels such as "house", "rock", "R&B", and "period dramas", so I'm training how to change channels without fail... Did you forget to see my face?!!... It's somewhat irrelevant.<br> | |||

An image came to my mind from the song title, "Blame", and Jeff's | An image came to my mind from the song title, "Blame", and Jeff's powerful, heartbreaking shouts, so it started with the concept of creating a movie situation where "a person blames themselves", which was completely separate from the lyrics, and I included the familiar character [[Mika]] in the role of someone who is "blaming herself" in this story-driven EUROBEAT movie. | ||
The heart of this song, which | The heart of this song, which has a particularly strong rock tone among the EUROBEAT songs, is the guitar solo from the great guitarist, good-cool! Throughout the movie, Mika drifts and accelerates past [[Yuri]] and [[Akane]]'s cars around the corner, but spins out! A big accident occurred!? Just then, Yuri and Akane saw Mika's spinning car and skillfully dodged it! The most dramatic scene was taken in high speed (it seemed CG like~), and I used developing multi-takes and cinematic techniques to achieve this. | ||

The "[[HEARTBEAT|NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP]]" | The "[[HEARTBEAT|NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP]]" was a great success, so Mika and Yuri will continue to be campaign girls for the next Internet Ranking.<br> | ||
While they're really looking forward to meeting all the IIDX players around the country again, but of course they're looking forward to freely drive around a borrowed prototype sports car around the country as usual, so they were furthermore overjoyed when there were two cars.<br> | |||

Meanwhile, it was decided that the next Internet Ranking will be another new event called "TRIPLE CHALLENGE", and | Meanwhile, it was decided that the next Internet Ranking will be another new event called "TRIPLE CHALLENGE", and it was suddenly decided to have three campaign girls named after the word "TRIPLE".<br> | ||

Moreover, the amateur racer Akane started racing together with Yuri and gradually improved her balanced skills, so Mika was recently worried that she was poor at maintaining a lead and time trials because of her uneven and rough driving, the overall high speed increasing, and both their levels catching up to her. | Moreover, the amateur racer Akane started racing together with Yuri and gradually improved her balanced skills, so Mika was recently worried that she was poor at maintaining a lead and time trials because of her uneven and rough driving, the overall high speed increasing, and both their levels catching up to her. | ||
One night, instead of practice races and time trials, they finally decided to have a serious race just the three of them.<br> | |||
