Song Production Information

dj TAKA

This is the latest song by the music producer U, who's hit songs have constantly been included in each installment since the beginning of IIDX.
This cheerful song is also perfect for IIDX.
By the way, Asuka M. has been involved in IIDX quite regularly, but I've never met her.
You can imagine what~ kind of person she is from her singing voice, right?

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

U's DANCE POP-styled songs aren't just songs, they also have catchy lyrics, and as the person in charge of the movies, it was my dearest wish throughout the series to prepare something that lets people feel the drama of that world (for example, like the opening and ending movies of a drama).
This time, I challenged myself to create a 3DCG woman based on the song's image.
This woman would unexpectedly become more active than I thought, later dancing in discos and driving in sports cars...
However, although this kind of movie takes time to create characters and animate them, it's very fun having a high degree of freedom, but the biggest bottleneck is that when you create the characters, the work plan turns into a bottomless pit.
Actually, I've kept it at clearing the minimum level degree of what I wanted to do in order to balance my overall schedule.
Personally, I want to pursue this method as much as possible, but there was only a reaction of "wow" from the team, so it depends on you to decide her future...
