Song Production Information

Mutsuhiko Izumi

"Snow Goose" was the very first song I created for jubeat.

I've been making songs with just guitar and drums in the Gitadora series for many years, but I didn't need to do that with jubeat, and I remember feeling very happy that I was able to create synthetic songs that I couldn't make for Gitadora.

I created this song with the image of a flock of snow geese flying across the blue sky over a vast Nordic landscape.
I'd be happy if many people play it in IIDX.

Mutsuhiko Izumi

This was the very first song I created for jubeat.
A flock of snow geese flying across the blue sky over a vast Nordic landscape... I'd like you to listen to this song while having this image of such majestic nature in mind.

Thinking about the characteristics of the game jubeat, I made a techno song with a classical Baroque music feeling.

Modern sound sources have a large number of timbres, and as someone who's been involved in the Gitadora series for many years, it took me a long time to find techno-like synths and rhythmic timbres that I didn't really use much during that time. But, it was fun, and I tried my best to choose them.

This song's tempo is expressed as BPM 200, and this is quite fast.
It was originally set at 160, but I made it 200 when I incorporated the opinions of the director and staff who said "let's make it faster".
As a result, everyone seems to enjoy playing it, so increasing the tempo was the right decision.
