Ganymede: Difference between revisions

* Ganymede is part of wac's Zodiac series of songs, representing Aquarius.

* A long version of Ganymede appears on the [[CARDINAL GATE conclusion]] album, included with [[CS DistorteD|beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD CS]]'s special edition. This long version was arranged by [[Arata Iiyoshi]].

Hello. I'm Kametarou Kameda, who is playing the role of Genbu this time around.<br/>

You can't beat me. There's no openings for you at all. After the match I'll stand in the ring and sing "FANTASY" or something. (Today's meme)<br/>

"You are a turtle. A slow, clumsy turtle" was the orders I was given, so I became a turtle in body and soul. Sorry, this body was no good.

I worried about lots of things, like if this is fitting for one of the four heavenly kings, so I tried to express a turtle-like strength.

After all, it's a turtle.<br/>

It's slow. It's veeery slow. So, you see, it's slow.

After all, it's a turtle.<br/>

It's hard. It's got very high defense. It will reflect all the players' attacks.

After all, it's a turtle.<br/>

It lives in the water. It sways to and fro. The patterns represent the flow of water.

After all, it's a turtle.<br/>

The second half isn't quite a victory. The rabbit is catching up. This must be what you call "deretsun". (Today's meme)

In other words.<br/>

It doesn't matter whether it's a long song or not. Just make a turtle-like song.<br/>

It doesn't matter if the note chart is fun or not. Just make it an obstacle between the player and the OMES.<br/>

That was the theme, so I'm satisfied with my own sense of achievement.<br/>

I did it Kametarou did it he really did it I'm so sorry.

I thought about things like BPM or density or come on give me a break already but nowadays there's mods like SUDDEN+ and HS5 that go easy on all the "I love fast songs! I hate slow songs!" kids so I figured I'd make something to rage against that sort of world.<br/>

If you have any confidence in your skills, please play this song with no mods.<br/>

It's nice to play HS0, no mods every once in a while.<br/>

I don't know if it's a good idea to do that with this song though.

The song title came from<br/>

Turtle → green turtle → elephant turtle → sea turtle → soup → scary → ghost → something's mixed up in this → water turtle → water jug → Ganymede and the lonely magical banana.<br/>

It's the so-called solitary wit.<br/>

I hope to see you again next time.

For this song, the composer of Ganymede gave me a few keywords to focus on when designing the movie images.<br>

So I decided to design the turtle as a mechanical being.<br>

A Holy Beast once protected the land...<br>

Archaeological digs suggested that the being was composed of technology that was not possible for that time.<br>

The scene where the mecha was submerged in water was my visualization of the keywords, a scene representing the infinite universe.<br>
