Song Production Information
SPARKER
It's been a while since I created a trance song with a sequel-like atmosphere to REFERENCE.
Does it feel quiet compared to my recent epic-like songs?
I'm anti against various things becoming excessively radicalized. (That's my excuse)
Anyways, I can't help but cry like a pure teenager.
If you're fascinated by the lovely ending, you're a narcissist.
Video Production Information
MAYA
Enclosed with blocks. Many things are stuffed, condensed, and form a shape.
This is my first animation.
Instead of having a vision which fit this song, I created this video by gathering colors which came to my mind.
Conversely, I had a vision when I heard the song, which it solidified as an inorganic object and consisted of puzzle-like parts.
It's sharp, cool, and beautiful, but... somehow adorable.
Even when I always listen to this song, I never get tired of it, maybe because it has many kinds of complicated aspects.
