This song, CaptivAte〜浄化〜, is based around the concept of following your heart until the very end. It ended up as a pretty raw mix with piano in the first half and synth in the second that brought out that sort of atmosphere of not-quite weakness very well. The lyrics start out with "Akaku somaru tsuki no shizuku namida sora ... "; the very important idea that lurks behind each of these seemingly unrelated phrases is "emotion". Please look forward to gradually brighter "CaptivAte"s.
 
== Video Production Info ==


GOLI / Anime
== Song Production Information ==
=== A/I ===
I created "CaptivAte~jouka~" with the concept of "being emotional until the very end".<br>
In contrast to the song's soft atmosphere, it was arranged with a very Chinese style, with a piano in the first half, and a synthesizer in the second half.<br>
Although the lyrics are "a drop of the moon, my tears, the sky are dyed red,,", I think the most important part of this song are the "feelings" which lurk behind these unrelated phrases.<br>
Please look forward to listening to CaptivAte songs, which will be gradually revealed.


This is DJ Yoshitaka's popular song. The ending song of the last version of the game was still fresh in everyone's mind during the location test, and it gave rise to this song.
== Video Production Information ==
=== GOLI ===
This is a popular song by DJ Yoshitaka. The image of the previous game's ending song was still fresh in everyone's mind during the location test, so this song was often discussed. I was attracted to the "akaku somaru~" part.<br>
This song feels delicate, like glass before it somehow shatters. If it shatters once, it can be regenerated... something like this. I repeatedly listened to this song several times during the production.


I really like the part that goes "Akaku somaru ... ".
== Difficulty & Notecounts ==
Somehow it really conveys the feeling of delicateness you get standing in front of a piece of glass before it's broken. If it's broken, it can be brought back ... I suppose. I listened to this song over and over during production.
beatmania IIDX difficulty rated from 1 to 12. (Ratings and notecounts obtained from [http://www.bemaniwiki.com BEMANIWiki 2nd].)
