This song was composed in a slightly different way than usual.<br>
This song was created in a slightly different way than usual.<br>
Since my previous work (around the time "Moonlight walkin'" was completed), I had been working on the melody, lyrics, and arrangement in my head every night in the car on the way home from work. And all the parts were perfect in my head (I thought, "I'm a genius!"), but when I tried to put it into sound, it was pretty terrible... (I thought, "I'm not a genius!"), and after many revisions, the composition was completed. With the addition of vivi's sweet voice, just as I had imagined in my mind, I was very satisfied with the result. (Next week, we plan to do an artist interview with vivi, so please look forward to that as well!)<br>

And then, when everything came together perfectly in my head (I thought, "I'm a genius!"), I tried to put it into sound, but it was pretty terrible... (I thought, "I'm not a genius!"). After many revisions, the orchestra was completed, and after vivi's wonderful voice was added, everything came together exactly as I had pictured it in my head.

After the song was completed, I had a careful discussion with Mocchy about the clip, and we came up with a very cute result.<br>

After the main girl character (Rose) is finalized, normally I do "Me = Director ・ Character = Actor".<br>
After the main girl character (Rose) was finalized, I typically think "Me = Director ・ Character = Actor".<br>
I usually proceed in the same way.... But in this clip, the director was Mr. Koezuka.<br>

After many meetings with director Koezuka, as we proceeded with the production...Rose and I gradually became one! Not in terms of physical appearance, but in terms of emotion.<br>
Director Koezuka and I had numerous discussions as the production went on... Rose and I gradually became one! Not physically, but emotionally.<br>
When Rose was smiling happily, I was happy too, and when I was drawing a scene where she was sad, it was really painful. (I was like Kitajima○○ in the role)
