"With a flowing drum'n'bass rhythm, polished piano riffs, and listless female vocals all intertwined, it's kind of strange and has a mysterious feel to it. Since it's blessed with the genre 'spiritual', I tried to make it the best 'spiritual' game song I could. It's not an accident, so play it with peace of mind."

It looks like "spiritual" is a new genre for us. There's something suspicious about the great change in tempo, and a sort of melancholy image pervades the song. It's the most "problematic" song for 2nd style in terms of production. We really wanted to do an original video for this song, but this was never realized due to certain circumstances. Still, I even like this video. GOLI put some animations together especially for this song. Since it was a spiritual song, GOLI put lots of work into coming up with a good idea. He ended up giving me a rough sketch (almost a doodle) of a woman like the one that shouts "OH! Yeah!" throughout the song, brimming with a certain appealing maturity. However ...

As a new genre categorized as "spiritual", this song seems to be 2nd style's most controversial work, with a mysterious and uneasy image, and its extreme tempo changes.
I wanted to do an original movie for this song, but unfortunately, due to various reasons, it was shelved.
But, this movie is also good, right?
Well, GOLI prepared some exclusive animations.
Since it's a spiritual song, GOLI had a lot of trouble coming up with a good idea as expected, so he sent me a rough sketch (or rather a doodle) of a female vocalist that shouts "OH! Yeah!" throughout the song, who was large, intense, and filled with maturity.
