BREAK OUT (Remixed by Orange Lounge): Difference between revisions

''This page is for the cover of the 1986 Swing Out Sister song in beatmania IIDX. For the KONAMI original song of the same name by [[Thomas Howard Lichtenstein]] that appears in the GUITARFREAKS & drummania series, see [[BREAK OUT]].''

* BREAK OUT is one of the only two new arcade songs from beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD that never received a video or overlays, the other being [[Winning Eleven9 Theme(IIDX EDITION)]].

Since there was a Western music remix competition, TOMOSUKE volunteered to go first and said "I'll do it, me, TOMO-kun, Western music and TOMO-kun!". As someone who loves Western music, there were too many songs I really wanted to remix, so it was difficult to narrow them down, but after having trouble here and there, I eventually narrowed them down in my mind to Tristeza (Goodbye Sadness), You've Got To Have Freedom, and this song, and I chose this song due to its popularity level.

The original song by Swing Out Sister was a big hit number in 1986. It isn't a crossover from Gitadora. Perhaps many people know this song since it was often played throughout the city when the '80s revival boom came some time ago. As someone from the ACID JAZZ generation, this is a deeply memorable song, and is one of the best songs which still remains in my heart. I also performed in a band during my university days. I remember having trouble making it groovy. The original mid-tempo song had an exciting intro phrase, and very impressive funky brass and drums, but since it's Orange Lounge, I tried to retain the original's delicious parts, while making it with an Orange Lounge style. TOMOSUKE wants to make a second Western music remix as soon as possible.
