Lyrics

Japanese

タシカナモノはいつでもそう
この手にはつかめないだろうけど
たまには確かめたくなるよ
見えないやさしさをあげたい

君のまっすぐな瞳(め)が
この僕に魔法をかける☆彡

この扉の先の何か見つけに
迷い打ち消していく
いつか　見つけだしたとしたら
この手　はなさないように

君にいつも　この想い届けたい
ずっと

この扉の先の何か見つけに
迷い打ち消していく
いつか　見つけだしたとしたら
この手　はなさないように
ずっと

Song Production Information

Tatsh

This song is the KONAMI STYLE campaign song that I crossed over.
How was the IIDX composers' backing band?
Actually, each of us wanted to play a role in filming this video.

When I saw the movie after a long time, I realized that "my hair was this long!".
It was long back then. My hair grows fast, so I think it'll return to its original length soon.

Video Production Information

I tried to create a session-styled video centered around Kanako Hoshino, who was the only woman there.
A cake to celebrate the release of the new song and dog somehow also appeared, making a friendly atmosphere.
Kanako's fingertips sparkle with magic powder as she sings with her sweet singing voice & the pop melody...
Those caught in this magic seem to become happy.

Well, have you been playing 2DX DistorteD??
I talked a bit about filming "INFERNO"'s movie last time, so this time, I'd like to talk about "Tashikanamono", another song included in this game.

This song was a KONAMI STYLE campaign song last year, and was written by Tatsh.
It's an up-tempo song but not four-beats, and it seemed nice to perform in a band, so they also appeared in the movie (^-^) The members are TAKA (bass), ucchie (drums), Yoshitaka (DJ), and Tatsh (guitar). We had never played live at KONAMI, so it became rather fun☆

It was my first time meeting ucchie, but he was very easy to talk to and so kind, so I immediately opened up to him (^-^)
This time, we went to a recording studio in Narimasu, Itabashi, and a place like a huge warehouse with a rehearsal studio.

The filming staff brought a chihuahua to relax, but maybe because it was female, it wasn't attached to Hoshi (・_・| But it was very cute. I think it appeared briefly in the video.

During the production, there were many people who usually make music, so I was nervous and stiff in the beginning, but it became better each time as they said "I wonder if it seems fine to do this", and it was a lot of fun. It was my first time using a skull microphone, and I took many photos of the microphone, thinking that it'd look great. For my clothing, similar to "INFERNO", I chose and bought them myself (^-^) I wonder what I'll wear next!?

I took a photo at the start of the rehearsal studio where everyone was performing, then I took it at the recording studio, but there was a two-seated swing there, which was very unusual, so I also took a photo of it. At the recording studio, during the scene where I sing and chat with everyone, as a surprise, I took a photo of when the "Tashikanamono" cake was surprisingly given to me. The filming day was after my birthday, so it felt nice that I got to blow out the candles and celebrate once again (^^)v

I think it turned out better than I thought!!

Twinkling stars☆彡 appear from the hands of Tatsh and myself (look forward to seeing it (^-^))
I think everyone gets along well with each other on screen. Personally, I like Yoshitaka's coolness in "INFERNO", and the way he was playing around and breaks down in "Tashikanamono" was a funny, funny highlight for Hoshino (^o^;
If you try and pay attention to such aspects, I think you can also enjoy this video in a different way ＼(~o~)／

I want to try acting in a drama-oriented movie with everyone next time (^-^)
If anyone has good ideas for what settings they like, a good script, who should play what role, please let me know (^!^)y~

Well, thank you for reading along with Hoshi's monolog!
The weather was bad this week, so let's hope it's sunny next week and be cheerful☆彡

I'm going to a fortune-teller next week!!
