Song Production Information

D.J.SETUP

beatmania fans, it's been a while. I'm D.J.SETUP.

After receiving a request from the team to create a stoic, techno sound in the vein of GUILTY, this is the first time I participated in IIDX.

It took some force in beatmania to have the middle section of the song be completely silent, but I think it somehow came together. I hope you enjoy the progression of noise, silence, and commotion throughout your entire body.

By the way, this time I also provided songs under a different alias. Well, I don't think anyone is interested....

Video Production Information

VJ YUZ

I said that if D.J.SETUP wrote a song for IIDX, I would make the video for it even if I died, so I was really surprised during the end of production when he came to write it.

How to create a club VJ-styled (?) atmosphere in the environment of IIDX?...
I finished it while discussing various ideas with GOLI.

When players have the greatest performance, they synchronize in a supportive manner (steadily), so I intend on following that visual style for the video.
