Song Production Information
SLAKE
I aimed for a dark disco sound, which is becoming popular deep in the Paris underground. Disco's image is generally associated with Afros and a fever atmosphere, but doesn't this song seem like a dark world where more thunderous desires swirl?
But I don't really know (laughs)
The break part has a slightly rock-ish point, so please look for it and fever at that part.
Maybe disco is all about fever after all?
Video Production Information
F-FLY
This is the first video I created during RED's production.
I like SLAKE's songs after all, so I immediately created this without worrying.
Did your first impact after watching it feel like "a mysterious night"?
I had the image of a night view and neon lights, so I actively filmed footage in Hong Kong.
Huh?!
It was a "Paris night"~ Sorry
At least it seemed to suit the night theme... how disappointing
Anyways
I didn't go to Hong Kong to film after listening to this song. I happened to travel there a few days before listening to this song, and after I heard it when returning, I thought "oh, it's perfect?"...
It seems different, but...
After that, I tried to create this video by blending a Chinese RED color with live-action materials, and overlapping it with typographic TEXTUREs (patterns).
Hong Kong sceneries make great visuals, and it's a treasure of materials.
But I'm just disappointed that I couldn't meet Jackie Chan... (I wonder if he's in Hollywood?)
