Although somewhat flavored with the unique flavor of the game, the track is inspired by the club scene.<br>

The trance scene seems to be a bit less psychedelic these days, and more future-oriented tracks with brighter vocals and atmospheres are more prominent.<br>
Although its flavor is somewhat unique to the game, this track is inspired by the club scene.<br>
In that sense, the collaboration with GOLI meant a lot to me because he captured the club sound on this track, and I almost cried when I first saw the movie.<br>
The trance scene around me recently feels slightly less psychedelic, and it feels like tracks with brighter atmosphere and vocals will be used in the future.<br>
Of course, the interesting thing about music is that it feels different for everyone who listens, and I hope everyone can enjoy this track as they feel.

The title "ABSOLUTE" means "definitely" or "perfectly unmatched". From that title, this number is filled with positivity and brightness. The refrain phrases used in the beginning and ending sections are so impressive, that you won't forget once you hear them. The vibrant synths give you happiness. The middle section suddenly becomes melodious, and the balance with the main phrase is exquisite. This song demonstrates dj TAKA's skill, who also composed "[[Quickening]]".

Drawing materials, applying effects, and editing. It was fun.<br>
Drawing animation materials, adding effects, and editing. It was fun.<br>
I'm wasn't familiar with it, so I learned a lot of things under the guidance of VJ YUZ, and I managed to get it into shape by using a lot of VJ YUZ techniques.<br>
I'm wasn't familiar with this process, so I learned various things under VJ YUZ's guidance, and it somehow became this form by repeatedly using VJ YUZ's techniques.<br>
However, it took me longer than I expected, and I was working on this song while ignoring the system screens (other than the movie, like the SELECT screen and the in-game screen) that I was supposed to be working on.<br>

That's why I had to own up for the lost time at the end of the day...
That's why I had to make up for time towards the end...
 
Personally, dj TAKA's recent songs, all have sounds I like, so I quite like them.<br>
dj TAKA's songs are high quality for games, and somehow remain in your mind just by listening to them.<br>
And he uses various distinct sounds, which results in his skill of creating the eventual song.<br>
Every time he does this, it provides me with a brand-new challenge.


In my opinion, I quite like all the songs dj TAKA has been making lately, as they all sound like my favorites.<br>
The songs in famous trance CDs (I mostly borrow them from VJ YUZ) are certainly wonderful, and I often listen to them, but when I hear dj TAKA's arrangements and songs, there's something different about them.<br>
There's something about dj TAKA's music that is both a good game song and something that sticks in your head just by listening to it.<br>
I've only participated in creating button-pressing animations and materials for movies until now.<br>
And his skill of using a diverse range of distinctive sounds that ultimately comes together to create the song.<br>
That was also my initial plan, but this phrase "ABSOLUTE" remained in my mind, and I wanted to try and create a movie for dj TAKA's song from the beginning.<br>
This gives me something new and rewarding to do every time.
So I unreasonably requested VJ GYO to let me do it.


Famous trance CDs on the market (I mostly borrow from VJ YUZ) are great and I listen to them a lot, but there is something different about dj TAKA's arrangements and dj TAKA style of music.<br>
I felt a brand-new sensation.<br>
Up until now, we've only participated in movies with button-pushing animations, materials, etc.<br>
If I somehow have another opportunity, I want to challenge myself to create different movies
That was my original plan again, but the phrase "ABSOLUTE" stuck in my mind and I wanted to make a movie from scratch for dj TAKA's song.<br>
So I forced VJ GYO to let me do it.


I was exposed to a new feel.<br>
== Staff Comments ==
I would like to try a different movie if I get the chance to do it again.
It's an enjoyable song, so I tried to make it feel enjoyable.
