Music Comment

There are many genres called "techno", but this is truly the original techno!

Song Production Information

Seiya Murai

To those who follow YMO, you should immediately got this song after listening to it.
In the song's music comment in the game, it's named as "original techno", and this isn't a lie. I wrote the lyrics and composed it, but the sound was recorded by Hideki Matsutake, a synthesizer programmer who's also called "the fourth YMO member".
Actually, this sound was created by fully using the synthesizers heard in YMO's songs. The sound was created by real hands, so that's why it's "original techno!". Is there any objections (laughs)? Although briefly, I was in charge of singing the English lyrics and vocoder.
The group name is V.C.O, and I guess it's a unit consisting of Matsutake and myself? I didn't get Matsutake's approval, so it's just my selfish assumption (laughs). By the way, V.C.O stands for "Voltage Controled Orchestra". It's finally finished!

This was the most difficult character to design. I drew over 10 rough sketches (or maybe doodles?), and I made sound director Seiya Murai decide the final version.
When I emphasized "the beams (good person rays) shoot out from here!!", Seiya said "it's getting more crazy and great".... INUCHIYO and I secretly froze for a bit.
