Song Production Information

DJ YOSHITAKA

The concept for this song was to represent the history of BEMANI in music as a type of cry. That is what led me to make B4U (BEMANI FOR YOU MIX).

When I first heard the original song, how did I feel? Probably the same as you did too when you first heard the song.

After some soul searching to make a remix, I woke up feeling like I was stuck.

Then I was inspired by thinking about a possible "back side" of the original song. "High Tension" woke me up from my funk and gave me a category in which to make this song.

Adding a sudden sense of max tension to this song was a great addition to this song, by adding even more tension, it simulated shifting to higher gears in a car.

This of course when remixing another "side of speed", one is not aware of the other songs.

I liked how this turned out.
