I waited for a legendary person at KONAMI's lobby reception floor in Roppongi Hills. Who was the mysterious person who connected me with that person? Luck was also with me.<br> | ||
The lobby floor was wide, quiet, and had a great view, and that person soon appeared as I was looking around.

While listening to this song, I thought English lyrics were more perfect for it, so I asked "may I write the lyrics in English?", and he replied "of course it's OK".<br> | ||

And filming this video was very enjoyable. I spent a half-day filming on location, and there was a friendly atmosphere with Togo-chef and all the KONAMI staff, who were serious and focused, while always laughing throughout.<br> | |||
There are various secret stories about the filming (laughs!), but there's another chance to discuss them, so I hope you'll enjoy the completed "Tell Me More..." in the game and highlights from the video.<br> | |||

No no no no, it's not a dream. It's real. Mother, please help me!... Just filming artist videos make me feel tense and apologetic, and I was filled with feelings about it. Looking back now, they were good memories. When I watch this movie, it conveys how I felt during that time, "this is the best I can do now"... I'm grateful to everyone who helped me with filming. I'm also grateful to Aki. I'm grateful to everyone. Many thanks. | ||
