[[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] and [[Yoshiaki Heshiki|HES]] wanted me to do a hard NRG song, so that's how this one started out. But, while layering things on top of each other, somehow something strangely melodious emerged. It just kind of fell out of me thinking, I wonder how this would sound?... and then doing it. Sorry, HES! Instead of NRG, this ended up being really majestic trance! So, [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|Yoshitaka]], who sits behind me, was all "Hey, Taka, that sounds really great! Let me listen for a while!" in a mischevious voice... so I did, and he said "You should add some vocals!" Hmmm, that's a good idea, but... okay, they'll start from here... is there enough time left for it?

He mischievously answered, "It'd be great if you added vocals to it!".<br>
Vocals are a good idea... but well~, from now... I wonder if I can add them on time.... after thinking about this for a while


Hmm... ... wait a minute... ... didn't thunder go something like this too... ... ... ... ... ... ... ... !?


So I started looking for the vocal track to thunder right away, and when I matched up the BPM and cue points... they matched up so well and created a magnificent harmony, and the track was finished a few hours later.
Hmm... wait...... I'm sure thunder has the same chord progression as this song.........


So the process of creating this song was totally different from what you'd normally think of remixing. I don't think of this as a remix of "thunder", but as a totally separate song. Of course, nobody cares about that even when I explain, but I hope you'll realize that it's not really a remix.

I immediately searched for thunder's vocal track from the enormous data backup, and when I tried combining the key and BPM...<br>
They had a brilliantly matching harmony, and I completed this track after a few hours.

Of course, it doesn't matter how you interpret it, but I wonder if you can notice that it's slightly different to a so-called remix?

When I listened to the demo of this song, I thought, "How can I create a video with the same tension as this song???", but I didn't really say anything about it. I thought it might be a bad idea to just carelessly start assembling materials and shooting film, and I ended up using Flash.
When I received a demo of this song, I silently thought, "well, how can I follow this tension???", but it was dangerous to use live-action footage to take simple scenery, so as a result, I ended up using Flash.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

I started creating this song with a hard NRG-style, based on HES and GOLI's request.
But, as I layered more sounds on top of each other, it somehow had a melodious atmosphere.
These kind of things actually often happen, so does this feel good?
I'm sorry HES! This time, let's go with a magnificent trance feeling!
So, when I was nearly finished, YOSHITAKA, who sat behind me, said in his usual mischievous voice, "TAKA~, it's groovy, please let me listen to it for a bit~", so I let him listen to it for a bit...
He mischievously answered, "It'd be great if you added vocals to it!".
Vocals are a good idea... but well~, from now... I wonder if I can add them on time.... after thinking about this for a while


Hmm... wait...... I'm sure thunder has the same chord progression as this song.........

..................！

I immediately searched for thunder's vocal track from the enormous data backup, and when I tried combining the key and BPM...
They had a brilliantly matching harmony, and I completed this track after a few hours.

So, since this song was created in a completely different order than the so-called remixing process, it's personally not a remix of "thunder", but a completely different song.
Of course, it doesn't matter how you interpret it, but I wonder if you can notice that it's slightly different to a so-called remix?
