This is my first time doing something like this! I'm eimy.<br> | |||
Actually, I couldn't believe that I was somehow singing in Murai's first song written for IIDX, and I was filled with somewhat trembling and happy feelings.<br> | |||
Murai, thank you very much.<br> | |||
And thank you too MAYA! (What else can I say?) | |||
I'm very happy, but I also feel sorry that it was me...<br> | |||
When I listened to my own voice in the cabinet for the first time, it felt like my face was on fire, and I'm still not used to it.<br> | |||
I'm not that good at it, and I secretly play at my hometown. | |||
=== Seiya Murai === | |||
And! I'm Seiya Murai, who's participating in the IIDX series for the first time with a newly-written song.<br> | |||
This time, I'm going to have a long conversation which is filled with jokes, so is that OK? | |||
In my previous crossover "[[Pink Rose|PinkRose]]", it seemed that my request "by all means, I'll compose here next time!", gained attention from the [[Tatsuya Shimizu|great]] [[Takayuki Ishikawa|sound]] [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|directors]], and the story was suddenly given to me two weeks before the location test... until then, there wasn't a sign that I'd be offered it at all. May, maybe I was a backup artist? （^^;<br> | |||
Well anyways, I created this song without much time, and since I was ordered for "something like PinkRose2", (I've been getting this a lot lately... but [2] is [[DAWN]] in [[AC pnm 13|pop'n Carnival]], and this is somehow [3]) I also had trouble selecting a female vocalist in a limited time. | |||
At such time, a memory was revived... howawa~wan♪ | |||
During a drinking party one day, eimy, who I usually work with and is in charge of the graphics as part of the pop'n team, came to me feeling slightly tipsy and good, immediately started passionately talking and said "I'd like to sing~!".<br> | |||
I was also definitely very drunk and said "hmm, that's fine~. But first, let me hear you record your best song at karaoke. We'll discuss after that~". | |||
Since something like that happened, I once again asked eimy.<br> | |||
"Will you sing in IIDX?" | |||
She wasn't a professional singer, but when I listened to the karaoke demo that I requested, I was convinced that if I had a good direction, it'd turn out well.<br> | |||
For example, would you rather eat out at a high-class three star restaurant, or make delicious food at home using good ingredients?...<br> | |||
For me, it's better to use my own skills in the latter, so I took that stance as well this time.<br> | |||
Also, I wonder if it's a bit interesting that a pair from the pop'n team is participating here for the first time? I thought about this. | |||
I didn't have time, so I wrote the lyrics myself (^^;。 Just about everything feels handmade♪ I'm a bit embarrassed about writing Japanese lyrics though....<br> | |||
Recording progressed very smoothly. How many times have I thought "are you really an amateur?"... (laughs). She was quickly able to understand these instructions, and she was easier to work with than professional vocalists. | |||
eimy said that she wanted the singer to be a secret after it was completed for a while... she seemed quite embarrassed.<br> | |||
However, the staff around me were very curious about the mysterious vocalist's identity, and asked me instead of eimy. | |||
"Who's singing it?", "has this person sung before?", they were quite persistent about this...(^^;<br> | |||
Evading that was even more difficult than recording it.<br> | |||
It seems that the pop'n team members were somehow aware of this, but it's difficult to confirm with eimy... such delicate atmosphere seemed to last for several days.<br> | |||
It isn't easy to keep secrets (bitter smile).<br> | |||
Then, the information gradually spread, and everyone knew about it.<br> | |||
And this song was completed with a cool movie by MAYA, who's close to eimy! | |||
eimy, thank you very much! GOOD JOB!! Please sing again♪<br> | |||
And MAYA, Thanks for the cool movie as well!! pop'n doesn't include these kinds of movies, so I'm infatuated with my song (laughs). | |||
Actually, many of our staff are talented people outside their profession. Something like I'm a programmer, but I'm actually a guitarist.<br> | |||
As a director, the most enjoyable part is finding rough gems in a person, regardless of whether they're professional or amateur, polishing them, and making a song with them in it.<br> | |||
Well, I wonder if I'll look for more and more hidden gems within the company♪ | |||

Wow, that's embarrassing.<br> | |||
eimy and Seiya Murai even said thank you to me. I'm so honored~. | |||
Seiya Murai's PINK ROSE2-styled song is coming to IIDX~!? Knowing this, I asked "yes yes! May I be in charge of it?".<br> | |||
The 3D animations were particular of that, and I groovily drew the illustrations from the sad lyrics.<br> | |||
I'd be happy if it turned out cool. | |||
I also knew it was eimy from early on, but I secretly remained silent, right, eimy. ^^<br> | |||
When everyone said "huh? You're lying", I felt alone. | |||
