== Song Production Information ==
=== lapix ===
When [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]] first approached me, he said "the theme of the next IIDX is ninjas"

"Ninjas!?" I have some familiarity with ninjas, so this fired me up. lapix here.



This time, I made this song with a "mirage" theme.<br>
I incorporated a lot of colorful sounds on top of a dazzling HiTECH FULLON base.

The tension in this song gradually increases! I hope you can get the ninja feeling~!<br>
Please play it!



HiTECH.

== Video Production Information ==
=== T_da ===
I'm once again in charge of the movie of a lapix song, following on from the [[Inner Spirit|previous one]]!<br>
The main character is a plump ninja who wants to be a cool-looking ninja.<br>
At first, I wanted to do a HiTECH ninja, but what is a HiTECH ninja anyways? A cybernetic looking one?<br>
I tried cyberizing ninja techniques, but I felt the limits of expression, like "I don't know what's going on", so I ended up with a super analog ninja.

Some nights I wondered where would be a demand for such a fluffy princess, but I had a lot of fun working on it!
