Song Production Information

AKIRA YAMAOKA

I wonder if I thought of this sound when I was in London around April of 1981.
I felt that only I could recreate the UK club sound from about December 1979 to March 1984.
To say it boldly, this is a homage to the pioneers of "dance music" which I respect, and is the antithesis to the people who make others laugh.

Video Production Information

GOLI

This is an illustration I drew at the end of 7th style.
I somehow felt the depth of a woman's heart, so I drew her alone in her room with her head drooped. I tried to draw such atmosphere with importance.

Personally, I really like the middle to latter half of this song.
I love listening to songs by YAMAOKA because they are very soothing.
I occasionally listen to them when I need to get in the mood for work.

His songs for other console games are perhaps the best.
I think he has a wide variety of genres.
Perhaps he's establishing a new frontier (laughs).
