Hello to those who love Concertino in Blue everywhere. I'm wac.<br> | |||
I understand. You're probably asking "who are you and what happened to Sasaki", but well, it's OK to calm down and discuss its notecharts.<br> | |||
Thank you for waiting. I received a comment from Sasaki! Hooray, Sasaki's on time, he's on time, right? Hey!<br> | |||
Well then, Sasaki, go ahead! | |||
==== Hirofumi Sasaki ==== | |||
Hello. I'm Sasaki.<br> | |||
Thank you very much for your comment, wac. I'm sorry for being late.<br> | |||
Did I make it on time? Was I close? | |||
It was newly included, so I went to an amusement spot after a long time, and I was able to watch and listen to videos and sounds of players playing from behind.<br> | |||
When I listened to it after a long time, I thought I created a messy song, and there are moments where it sounds clear, yet flashy, but I also remember that I didn't like it much when I initially made it. It's too much like me. | |||
Now that I think of it, there are things I can only create at that moment, and life has encounters and connections, and come to think of it, I somehow wrote that tqy had a mustache when I met him, | |||
Well, it's somewhere＾＾ | |||

==== Hirofumi Sasaki ==== | |||
What I wanted to do recently is to "establish a unit with Izumi and perform a progressive live".<br> | |||
I'll come back to this.<br> | |||
Every time I request for him to play a crazy music score for my songs, he always does it with a smile, and something more progressive returns to me beyond my imagination... this is already my [[The Least 100sec|third]] [[Kodomo no rakugaki chou|song]], but if I didn't join this company and encounter Izumi, none of these songs would've probably been born.<br> | |||
So this time, the guitar is even more centered than in 100sec., and it became a guitar concerto.<br> | |||
The guitar/piano, and of course the drums/bass, became even more intense, independent, and unified. | |||

Hello, I've recently liked crossover (which means the fusion of two music genres), and this time, I tried to bring out music in the "Romantic era", which represented Europe in the 19th century, into a "blue" world. Usually, I'm not foolish to say that I "don't like" Chopin, a composer who represented that era, or Rachmaninoff, who had a late Romantic era color, but when I tried to make a "crossover" like this, it was more pleasant than I thought.... by all means, I hope you'll taste this pleasant feeling.<br> | |||
How was it? Did it feel pleasant? Huh?<br> | |||
.... I wonder if there's a fate of an encore...!? | |||

Finally, "Concertino in Blue" is crossed over to IIDX, and I was asked by [[Gyo Eguchi|GYO]] to provide materials for its video. | |||
So, I searched around and looked for old data, but due to its rough resolution and various reasons, it isn't very good and can't be used in that state.<br> | |||
Then, I tried to recreate the video by redrawing it with a slight touch and matching the horizontal screen. | |||
As a basic principle, I tried not to change its image as much as possible since it's a popular song, but it felt that it wouldn't be appropriate for IIDX if I kept it the same....<br> | |||
I had quite some trouble making it like that. | |||
When redrawing it, since I previously drew detailed parts very carelessly, like fingers holding the flute (I was surprised to see it), I studied drawings by watching classical concert footage.<br> | |||
But when I saw the video afterwards, there wasn't much progress, right? (bitter smile) | |||
But how many years has it already been? I carefully listened to "Concertino in Blue".<br> | |||
Come to think of it, slightly before I remade this video, I just met Sasaki after a long time.<br> | |||
There's something called a "connection", right? | |||
Bye then. | |||

Well, it's progressive. It's an encore.<br> | |||
This time, Sasaki's melody is clear. When I first listened to the demo, I thought "this is amazing".<br> | |||
When this game was released as a new product, I was making snow textures during the start of the New Year, while wondering if it was snowing throughout the city. | |||

Here's "OTOBEAR (blue)". His colors are beautifully separated! | |||
Since this song, movie, and Maurizio are legendary to those who've played Gitadora, I wanted to cross over as much of its atmosphere as possible, not just the song, and I added the animations referenced from the data provided by its movie creator tQy. (Thank you very much for taking time off despite being busy!)<br> | |||
The impressive tile patterns in the movie made my eyes flicker in the background, so I made it like that song card, and with these thoughts... I hope they came..!<br> | |||
I'd be happy if you smile a bit at its "likeness", such as the snow falling with the other musical notes, and the lovely cobalt blue choice, which I wouldn't~ be able to establish this shade with just "blue". | |||

Progressive.<br> | |||
Progressive means difficult songs.<br> | |||
What's difficult is the odd time signature, in irregular time.<br> | |||
When you think of progressive, some people say it has abnormal rhythms.<br> | |||
The beat constantly changes.<br> | |||
Among them, triplets seem to be rhythms which are difficult for Japanese.<br> | |||
Such rhythms are scattered everywhere.<br> | |||
But this song might be easier to understand.<br> | |||
Although I can somehow recognize them in my mind, my body doesn't follow.<br> | |||
It's difficult.<br> | |||
Damn it.<br> | |||
But it's enjoyable.<br> | |||
... It's one of my favorite songs... (po) | |||
