With its speed returning from jubeat ripples, this is Sumidagawa karenka.<br> | |||
It's often called "Sumidagawa" than the newly included genre name, and as someone who "cares about gossip", searching for keywords on the internet is difficult.<br> | |||
When news came out that "oil floated from Sumidagawa", I wonder if a new expression will appear from "muddy stream"....<br> | |||
Even though it's not like "muddy stream" during jubeat's time, many people seemed to enjoy the moderately difficult notecharts since its release.<br> | |||
jubeat and pop'n have maximized their characteristics of each game, and I probably felt nervous that "strange sweat came out". | |||
I thought for a while about not using ALT, but when I once again researched various production techniques for this song, its articulation slowly improved, and I thought about trying its various possibilities a bit more. It's originally an old software, so it's very difficult for a modern synthesizer girl's voice to achieve this....<br> | |||
I can't expect programming technology advancements anymore, so I'd like to try and evolve ALT's voice with just analog efforts and determination to make it slightly easier to hear her sentences. I wonder when I can proudly name her "ALT ver.2.0". | |||
== Video Production Information == | |||
=== Motoko === | |||
This time, the jubeat team gave us a lovely jacket and illustration, and KINRUI created an easy to make base, so it was very fun and groovy to make.<br> | |||
I really love the muddy stream scene in the chorus. | |||
=== KINRUI === | |||
I was in charge of the storyboard and notecharts. I'm KINRUI.<br> | |||
You probably grinned when the charts imitated the jubeat markers. （＾▽＾//）<br> | |||
Speaking of Sumidagawa, I absolutely wanted to create this! And this materialized by passionately speaking to Motoko! I did it!<br> | |||
Manually placing the markers to individually match the timing... it was very difficult. | |||
But, I couldn't believe I was somehow in charge of the movie for Sumidagawa!<br> | |||
As a player, I was completely swept by the muddy stream, and I was deeply moved by it. | |||
== Jacket Design Information == | |||
=== T_da === | |||
An image came to my mind from the moment I heard this song, so I raised my hand and asked "please let me draw this jacket photo".<br> | |||
It didn't help that each lyric was cute, so I was lost on what scene to draw, but the "strawberry shaved ice" lyric became the deciding factor in the final scene. | |||

Hello from the world of 4x4 squares.<br> | |||
It's feat.ALT, so I immediately decided on Alt as the character, and furthermore selected the pixel ver.<br> | |||
Hmm. It's perfect for jubeat！■■■■ | |||
Also, the jacket illustration given by the designer continuing from [[Polaris]], is also beautiful and enchanting.<br> | |||
There isn't a big page where you can see it on the homepage, so by all means, I wanted~ to create a gallery to show its appeal.<br> | |||
ALT's new color earned a reputation among the team as "appearing frozen and scary!", which was inspired from this jacket. Isn't the black silhouette nice?<br> | |||
Also, I added a fashionable ripples green. | |||
By the way, the "Zutto + Chara-pop-kun" Ojama appears during the gameplay, so you can enjoy the Sumidagawa Fireworks Festival anytime.<br> | |||
If you're confident in your skills, please also try playing it with Jogesakasama! | |||
== Chart Production Information == | |||
=== [[Hiroyuki Masuda|Massuru]] === | |||
This song somehow has fireworks and surface water!<br> | |||
I created the notecharts with the image of skyrockets, fireworks and light reflected on surface water. | |||
Did you understand?<br> | |||
The skyrockets are launching...<br> | |||
Boom! I tried to express various images of fireworks scattering everywhere. | |||
I'm unfortunately a very Kansai person, so I haven't seen the fireworks at Sumidagawa... | |||
So, please especially try to challenge it using the firework markers! | |||
I always listened to this song while creating the notecharts, so I casually hum it at random timing, right?<br> | |||
ALT's voice style is... | |||
== Staff Comments == | |||
=== [[Masaru Nakamura|masaru]] === | |||
Fully cooperating with "Massuru" of jubeat, it was able to appear in pop'n.<br> | |||
There are hidden song hints released on the web besides pop'n! We also challenged this new attempt. | |||
=== [[Daichi Watanabe|PON]] === | |||
The volume of the kicks was low during the data production, so I tried to raise the volume at once, but the distortion-styled kicks became louder, and there was a funny balance.<br> | |||
And everyone smirked. | |||
=== [[Shinjiro Otsu|Otsu]] === | |||
You can see various things on the shore of Sumidagawa. | |||
=== Ga~su~ === | |||
The tempo is great that I unintentionally play it all the time.<br> | |||
It's a secret that I inevitably lose in the final stage.. | |||
=== [[eimy]] === | |||
This is a lovely, cute, and exciting song! I think the fast BPM is its speedy heart. It's cute, cute!!/// I can draw a manga to this. | |||
