Music Comment

A solitary baroque fusion beloved by the century and the world

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

dj TAKA

Osamu Kubota is a musician I've known as an acquaintance before I was involved in the beatmania series, and although he has a far longer career than me, we've become close friends.
His music production mainly has an orchestral and jazz taste, and he's quite a famous composer, serving as a musical director for a certain famous TV drama among others.
This time, Osamu Kubota's song has pioneered a completely new, fresh genre in beatmania, which should've been quite unique, but he provided more than what I asked from him, and the result is a song that symbolizes the direction of 3rd style.
Isn't this such a wonderful song?
Everyone, please enjoy the brilliant fusion of Baroque elements and techniques in beatmania IIDX, such as the harpsichord, classical piano, and church organ.

KEYBOARDMANIA

A song crossed over from BMIIDX. I wonder if there are people who can clear this.

Video Production Information

beatmania IIDX

VJ GYO

This movie begins like an old movie with scratches on the film, and has a completely new medieval scent with an expanding progressive world, which caused the usually unfazed IIDX staff to say "wow!".
We planned to collaborate with the designers from the beginning, but we hit a dead end when GOLI and I were only able to prepare one material each.
This situation continued until just before production was up, and I thought I came to a situation where "I might not finish on time!", but VJ YUZ did a brilliant job of editing the production materials in only one day, working on it at an impossibly fast speed.
The movie is created with exactly a "Presto" style (one of the tempo indications in music terminology "which means very fast"), but it also visually conveys the passionate, fast-paced development of the song.

KEYBOARDMANIA

VJ YUZ

I made some changes to Presto's IIDX movie.
It's unrelated, but the director of the IIDX team, KAGE, sits next to me, and often gives me mini ramen and drinks.
