"What's happening from now on?"
",,,,,,, It's wonderful."
That's why it's EPIC TRANCE.
When you speak about trance in the streets, people think about Euro, but it's part of Epic. Even around me, psychedelic is declining. Except with one person, myself.
Aside from that, this EPIC TRANCE became the first track completed as a collaboration with Togo-chef.
I've remixed Togo-chef's songs, had him play the guitar on my tracks etc., and provided materials, but he played the guitar during the production stage, which was surprisingly his first time in our long relationship.
If I recall one year ago, he taught me various things at work, as I was a beginner who didn't understand left and right,,,, this story is becoming long, so I'll stop.
Well, halfway through production of this track, I inserted the programmed guitars, but it wasn't good, and I hesitated and wondered what~to~do, so I asked Togo-chef to replace it and start from the beginning. As a result, I'm glad he was able to participate.
I think the addition of Togo-chef's acoustic guitar produced an indescribable, idyllic, and bright track.

YASI
Well, the birthplace of this type of music is in Europe and the UK scene.
My first impression when I heard this track was "European Super Express".
Or rather, going through a self-thinking circuit as usual, I connected the refreshing melody to the wonderful scenery from the train window when I went to Switzerland during the fall of last year.
Oh, L.E.D. makes his first appearance in the movie, being deep in thought by the window.

Yasi
Hello. I'm Yasi, who's in charge of the home version.
Although I asked L.E.D. about the origin of this title before I created the movie, I finished it with nothing to do with the title. Oh, this happens every time....
As the UK is the birthplace of the most recent and familiar EPIC, I tried to cram my memories of when I went to Switzerland last year, how was it?
Actually, I later noticed that while this "car window" movie and vehicle are different, there's materials with clips of famous UK artists together, so this is really coincidental.
