=== Osamu Kubota ===
There was a certain keyboard player in the 1980s.<br>
With his waist-length hair flowing freely, he would skillfully control up to five keyboards, and was famous for freely switching between complicated 7/8 and 19/16 rhythms.<br>
However, he had one weakness. He couldn't play simple 4/4 rhythms!<br>
Whenever someone suggested he start playing a simple 4/4 tune, his hands get stuck, he would not be able to breathe, and he'd claim, "4/4 music is dying".<br>
He continued to reject the existence of all dance music.<br>
Time passed, and now he has perfected the ultimate in 4-beat play.<br>
No matter how close you listen to it, it's a 4-beat rhythm that sounds like an odd time signature. That is this song.<br>
Along with the meaning(?) of this word, foreplay has the double meaning of being the ultimate 4/4 play song.

It's a one minute twenty second ode to my beloved, the piano, practically without rest once it begins.<br>
What do you think? This is the return of presto.

I created this animation.<br>
The scenery I used was from the neighborhood of shio and my parents' home, so it's a "secretly local special resource!".. I was so excited to make this animation..
