"Sakura" is the flower in the hearts of Japanese people.<br> | |||
When I listen to this melody, I strangely feel nostalgic, something which awakens my Japanese genes.<br> | |||
Although the rhythm is based on the artificial rhythm of MAXX UNLIMITED, it has been fully refined and customized throughout the song.<br> | |||
I introduced traditional Japanese instruments in the arrangement, fusing them with current synthesizer technology. | |||
As a Japanese person, I've recently made a lot of songs with traditional and classical Japanese music as the theme, but now the songs under Reven-G are finally departing Japan and heading towards Europe. | |||

Music evolves while spreading. I think that's one of the charms of dance music.<br> | |||
On the other hand, this song deepens evolution and promotes new music. | |||
On the dance floor filled with people wearing various non-national costumes, wearing an extravagant and seasonal kimono with bright flowing patterns (would men wear oyoroi and jinbaori?), would attract big attention! It feels like that. | |||

This is my favorite song. Japanese things are hot. | |||
I've received many e-mails asking "who's that girl?". Thank you. As you can see, she's ALICE. Although she's from Hong Kong, please don't mind that she's wearing a kimono. I thought a kimono suited her the most.. | |||
I wonder if this theme is "beauty-styled honor". | |||
