Music Comment

From "beatmania IIDX". Shining blue Spica, the maiden in the sky of fertility.

Song Production Information

D.JW

"It's amazing... It's full of stars... Am I holding the stars?". So my name is D.JW, born between Leo and Virgo.
Did I introduce myself? Maybe, probably not.
So in my next work, I will be .djw! It looks like a filename extension.
By the way, I can say it now that DJ is an abbreviation of "daigouin jaki". Did everyone know it?
I can't clear 5th Dan. It's an OutPhase conspiracy. This isn't the place to write a diary.

I thought "Spica" sounded like a Swahili word, so it has some Afro beats.
Although I thought about it and couldn't digest it, so only the voice remained African as a result.
Aiaiaiaiai. Wow. I understand what the word means, but is it African anyways?

For LIGHT and ANOTHER, this song couldn't be any easier or harder, so the piano phrases were entirely created on the editor, so even though it's extreme, with Spica's flower language, "hidden passion", please do your best to clear the level at your own pace.
I tried to put it all together nicely.

Video Production Information

shiro

I made the animation.
There's footage, but isn't it a bit strange to not turn it upside down? It's an image of a landscape.
The beautiful piano with a difficult chart, as expected... The mark traveled, as expected... ....?
