Hello, IIDX fans, nice to meet you. My name is KOHTA.<br>
Nice to meet you IIDX fans. My name is KOHTA.<br>
Here's an introduction for the song for this episode.
Well, here's an introduction for this song with some production episodes.


On a certain day, at a certain place in Roppongi, I overheard an argument between HES and TAKA as they were drinking. Overwhelmed by excitement for the games the two produced, and by HES' cool graphics, the two made their way to their seats at a party. And TAKA, who was drunk, kept getting excited over and over.<br>
On a certain month and day somewhere in Roppongi, I had a meeting with [[Takayuki Ishikawa|TAKA]] and HES while drinking.<br>
TAKA "Huh! Isn't this amazing fun! I'm really looking forward to it!"<br>
Even though I was overwhelmed by their passionate feelings for the game and HES' cool graphics, we had a peaceful time. And I was instigated many times by a slightly tipsy TAKA.<br>
KOHTA "Y-yeah, it really is fun ... " *wow, what pressure*<br>
TAKA "Aren't you really looking forward to it?! I'm really expecting it!"<br>
Just what you'd expect from the famous producer, TAKA. And, as it happened, it also managed to get me really excited about the next game too, since I love working under pressure.
KOHTA "I'm, I'm really looking forward to it, right?... Ahaha (it's a lot of pressure...)"<br>
As expected from the famous producer TAKA. He skillfully controlled me, as someone who loves pressure, and successfully kindled my passion.


On that day, I set forth to make a song that wasn't dance music or BGM but BEMANI, just for myself. My travels led me to cross space and time to the year AD 1794. This is the year that a series of sonatas were started by a great composer that many consider seminal. At length I realized that these beautiful, yet tempestuous, sounds had begun to resonate deep within my heart. I was inspired by his boundless energy for life, and sought to express it with wildy guitars and synths and my 909. The descendant of those fleeting sonatas, styled in the fashions of today ... that is RESONATE 1794. Crossing epochs and generations, this is my my own message of love to all of BEMANI fans.
From that day, I went on a journey to find a song unique to myself, not dance music or game BGM, but rather something unique to the BEMANI series.<br>
Wandering around time and space, I eventually arrived in the period 1794 AD.<br>
A series of so-called sonatas started in that year, which marked the life of a great composer.<br>
I realized that I really RESONATE (vibrate/sympathize) with these beautiful and intense sounds.<br>

A descendant of these fleeting sonatas, wrapped in modern day fashion... that's RESONATE 1794.<br>

"Target acquired. Engaging combat mode"<br>
Unleash all your power, and challenge it to a fight. Can it really be destroyed?<br>
"'''DESTROY THE CORE!'''"


"Target acquired. Engage combat mode."
I consciously created this video with an emphasis on a speedy and refreshing feeling.
Drawing on all its power, the terminal begins the battle. Can it really come out victorious?
"DESTROY THE CORE!"


I approached this work with a desire to emphasize a feeling of speed while also drawing out a refreshing sense.


Since the movie for "RESONATE 1794" was a little special in this series, being the climax, I waited until the song was complete before starting work on the video. This time I also decided to try an experiment by having KOHTA add sound effects matching my images. Since this video was a battle scene, I felt it was best to provide as much exposition as possible.
After the slightly special song "RESONATE 1794" was completed as the "turn" in the introduction, development, turn, and conclusion movie, I created this video from its data.<br>
Although it was created in the same process as usual, I gave my video to KOHTA this time, who attempted to add SE (sound effects) to it.<br>
We decided to do this during the start of our meeting, and I needed to thoroughly explain the scenes for this song.


The big scenes:
The crucial scenes
* The scene where the CORE appears
* The scene where the CORE is damaged by the Vulcan
* The scene where the CORE's attack is a direct hit
* The scene where you chase the CORE, and eventually neutralize and destroy its laser
* The scene where the CORE is destroyed


* The appearance of the CORE
It's the biggest highlight of the "introduction, development, turn, and conclusion movie", so it has many cuts.
* The scene where the CORE is damaged by the terminal's vulcan cannons
* The scene where the CORE's attack results in a direct hit
* The scene where the terminal chases the CORE, and their mutual laser attacks results in the CORE's destruction
* A scene where the CORE crumbles away to nothing


Since this video was the highlight of the introduction - development - climax - conclusion sequence, this video also had a lot of cuts.


Below are the prototype images I showed KOHTA for the RESONATE 1794 video.

Song Production Information

KOHTA

Nice to meet you IIDX fans. My name is KOHTA.
Well, here's an introduction for this song with some production episodes.

On a certain month and day somewhere in Roppongi, I had a meeting with TAKA and HES while drinking.
Even though I was overwhelmed by their passionate feelings for the game and HES' cool graphics, we had a peaceful time. And I was instigated many times by a slightly tipsy TAKA.
TAKA "Aren't you really looking forward to it?! I'm really expecting it!"
KOHTA "I'm, I'm really looking forward to it, right?... Ahaha (it's a lot of pressure...)"
As expected from the famous producer TAKA. He skillfully controlled me, as someone who loves pressure, and successfully kindled my passion.

From that day, I went on a journey to find a song unique to myself, not dance music or game BGM, but rather something unique to the BEMANI series.
Wandering around time and space, I eventually arrived in the period 1794 AD.
A series of so-called sonatas started in that year, which marked the life of a great composer.
I realized that I really RESONATE (vibrate/sympathize) with these beautiful and intense sounds.
I was inspired by his passionate energy for life, and created this song using my intense guitar playing and 909 synthesizers.
A descendant of these fleeting sonatas, wrapped in modern day fashion... that's RESONATE 1794.
Transcending eras and generations, this is my own message of love to those who love BEMANI.

Video Production Information

HES

Introduction, development, turn, and conclusion movie [EPISODE 3] -enemy approaching-

"Target acquired. Engaging combat mode"
Unleash all your power, and challenge it to a fight. Can it really be destroyed?
"DESTROY THE CORE!"

I consciously created this video with an emphasis on a speedy and refreshing feeling.


After the slightly special song "RESONATE 1794" was completed as the "turn" in the introduction, development, turn, and conclusion movie, I created this video from its data.
Although it was created in the same process as usual, I gave my video to KOHTA this time, who attempted to add SE (sound effects) to it.
We decided to do this during the start of our meeting, and I needed to thoroughly explain the scenes for this song.

The crucial scenes

  • The scene where the CORE appears
  • The scene where the CORE is damaged by the Vulcan
  • The scene where the CORE's attack is a direct hit
  • The scene where you chase the CORE, and eventually neutralize and destroy its laser
  • The scene where the CORE is destroyed

It's the biggest highlight of the "introduction, development, turn, and conclusion movie", so it has many cuts.


Below are the prototype images I showed KOHTA, who was in charge of RESONATE 1794.
