Song Production Information

dj TAKA

After 2nd style's development cycle ended, this was the first song to be created.
As the game entered the final stages and things like the data check and such, I got a little tired of hearing techno sounds all the time, so immediately following the end, I created something with a bit more calm.
Just thinking about this song, I feel like that right now.
For the direction of the song, imagine something like an airplane flying in the morning glow. It's a lovely image, isn't it?
Our intention was to just leave it as a freebie in the game data, but instead, we decided to make it the ending song. I think it does a fine job.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

When I listen to it now, various memories from the production of the album come and go like a kaleidoscope.
I feel like my memories are diminished when I talk about them, so let me keep them to myself like this in my heart.
Hmmm, I'm getting pretty eye-opening.
