The sound director [[Takayuki Ishikawa|TAKA]] told me "OK, create a gospel song next".<br> | |||
I'm wac, a former chorister. I'm still a chorister. Is it because I'm a choir guy?<br> | |||
When I say choir, it's a boys choir at a boys school, so it's a world where 100 young boys yell "hoiya, hoiya, shuuririenen".<br> | |||
I wonder if it's similar to Tamayura. Rather, I said for it to be in that direction.<br> | |||
I said "No, acapella is next". Something changed. No, acapella is impossible to include in this game. | |||
Firstly.<br> | |||
As it's often said, gospel means the Word of God.<br> | |||
I'm a man who sometimes believes in God and Buddha? I wonder if I'm qualified to speak about the Word of God.<br> | |||
However, TAKA told me "No, create a gospel song next".<br> | |||
"But God still won't descend". | |||
Therefore.<br> | |||
For now, God will honorably descend in the end, so please do your best to not be taken away in the world by the five triplets singing "tralalalala".<br> | |||
Look, this is gospel! Or rather, it's pareidolia.<br> | |||
Actually, MARI's cheerful lyrics, the up-and-coming gospel group CoCoRo*Co, and Lala Moore's session surpassing space-time, somehow reached a gospel-like joyphilia, maybe, probably, no way, I don't think so. | |||
This loss is dedicated to those who know such differences, no, it's Make a Difference.<br> | |||
This song isn't brought up as a topic in the first place, but when it's brought up, it's "tralalalala", so I created this for LIGHT7. Even now, I regret every night that I should've created this normally.<br> | |||
God won't descend, so to those who are confident in playing this song, please sometimes rejoice in the joy of life. | |||

This is the first "GOSPEL" genre song included in the IIDX series, which feels unique.<br> | |||
When I went on a sightseeing trip in America a long time ago, during an optional sightseeing tour of New York City, I had the opportunity to listen to this kinds of music at the end of a church in Harlem.<br> | |||
Regardless of music likes and dislikes, I remember feeling sincerely moved by all the deeply religious people singing in a way which integrated their daily rituals in everyday life. | |||
At that time, I didn't imagine it'd connect with music in IIDX, and conversely, even when I listen to this song, it doesn't connect with my image of that time. | |||
However, I saw family and friends playing together, lovers talking to each other, and people walking their dogs at the local park... I was inspired seeing the locals having fun!<br> | |||
I remember those happy and cheerful feelings of when I was among warm, gentle, and bright people who cheerfully called out to me!<br> | |||
As expected of this song! | |||
