Open my mind, I look up a clear sky

Even the world's filled with depression

So I'm coming to the world dreams are born
Taking you to the place with new dreams..

Open the door to tomorrow
Cause I am believing in the truth
Believing in the truth

Song Production Information

L.E.D.

This is surprisingly my first DRUM & BASS song in the beatmania series.
I had previously thought about asking Maiko Horisawa, who participated as the lyricist and vocalist this time, to participate in my track production if there's an opportunity, and while creating this track, Horisawa's style matched my desired image, so I gave her my long-awaited offer. As a vocalist and opera singer, Maiko Horisawa is a talented singer who's active in a wide range of genres, and I think many people have heard Horisawa's songs in various places.
Well, the title "PHOTONGENIC" is a blend of the words Photon, Genetic, and Photogenic.

I usually sing healing pop-styled songs, but for my first DRUM & BASS song, L.E.D. and I were able to form this song's worldview together, which was very enjoyable. I'm moved to be able to share fun with many BEMANI fans through music and games. I also posted the lyrics in my homepage, so please post your impressions if it's great. I also sang the theme song of PS2's "Z.O.E", so some people might know me from that(^^)

Video Production Information

Ta-k (synesthesia)

Following 8th style, I once again created a video for a L.E.D. song.
It's a D'n'B song with a speedy feeling and female vocals providing a sense of space... it's too lovely.
Taking L.E.D.'s requests such as image color into account, I completed this video during a tight production period, due to my time mismanagement.
I think I finished it slightly differently to his previous video. Although blue hasn't primarily appeared in my videos recently, I still really liked this color while making this video. ...... But even though I made a video with a color I liked, I wonder why it's difficult... due to my time mismanagement. What do you think? (sweats)
