Song Production Information

niwashi

Do you hear it from Mars?
This is November India Whiskey Alpha Sierra Hotel India
My name is niwashi.
Thank you very much for the adoption.

Congratulations for the release of SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN.
Themed after the refreshing atmosphere of this game,
and after the Mars Exploration Rover "Curiosity",
I made an art core song based on an image of the exploration of the sea of Mars.

I sincerely hope that VOLTEX will be even more exciting in the future.

Mr.Hyuji of RTTF Records who did such great mixing and mastering for the song,
To the HaltquinZ♠♥♣♦ duo who made an awesome jacket,
Let me say here thank you.

Jacket Production Information

HaltquinZ♠♥♣♦ (Mashiroma + Rinne.6)

- This is the story of a certain girl at the Solar System's fourth planet -

Congratulations for SOUND VOLTEX IV's release. This is HaltquinZ♠♥♣♦
This time we were in charge of the jacket of niwashi's song. Thank you.

Mashiroma

Konbanwa from Mars? No, konnichiwa?
I am Mr.Mashiroma and I was in charge of the illustration.

Was suddenly asked by niwashi and Rinne.6 and I accepted.
During production period, I redrawn the sketch so many times without destroying the original idea as much as possible.
Looking back at all the croquis drawings I did, my memories of the production just revive.

Even though the girl feels lonely in the image, I made sure to give her a gentle facial expression so she doesn't feel alone.
I am grateful to Rinne.6 and niwashi to have been able to make it there.

From Riokyo-chan (Curiosity), thanks! (I hope it's not that difficult for me to play!)

Rinne.6

Hello from Mars. I am Rinne, I was in charge of the design, logo and other things.

I am really happy to make it to this stage with this unit.

During production I was allowed to listen to the song and I was impressed at that time.
I remember when niwashi asked me to draw a jacket and I found it impossible to do if it wasn't for Mr.Mashiroma.

Thanks to both of you for making my wishes be reality.

When the contest winners were revealed, niwashi was so amazed that ↓↓↓ was coming out of his mouth. Really.

Play Curiosity and give a look at the jacket
Hope you can spare a story with Riokyo-chan.

Let's go to Mars, everyone.
