This song's selling point is that I made full use of the MIDI functions of the currently out-of-print "MSX turboR (A1-GT)". It is a good thing that it didn't take much production time.<br>

As for the song, it is embedded with phrases that have a great potential to capture the hearts of the Japanese people, and a grandiose arrangement & light rhythms that feature an obvious progression. That was my aim. I will be glad if many people play this song.

=== pop'n music original soundtrack ===
Even though it's techno, since there's a variety for it, I thought about what type of song to make. Afterwards, I was relieved when the genre was decided to be "J-tekno". In J-tekno, "J=Japan=日本". From my own interpretation, old Japanese hit songs have a certain regularity to how chords are used, and I was also inadvertently moved by those sections (I understood this when I started composing), so this time, I decided to use chords unique to Japan as its "core". And since tekno was added, I created this song by arranging and programming all the parts so that normal people can feel that its related to techno. And then I completed it after many adjustments. As expected, is it easy to understand and listen to? This song is unique for having a grandiose arrangement. If you listen to it, perhaps you'll know the artist I liked back then. That artist even has a big influence on me today. But that's a secret.
