<pre>What are you driving at? Any... anything | |||

You get sunburned | |||
Can we believe in anything? | |||
Are you all set? We're a gong, go! | |||
Slam the door and leave in same funny time | |||
Pudding a la mode... | |||
You don't have to believe to the core of yourself | |||
Well, I just thought of it | |||
Gotta keep alot of the things | |||
Oh you know - fight the bad feeling - no fair! | |||
If you wanted the view, then I'm having your fun | |||
There's something wrong with these | |||
Follow to me - and can do our song tonight | |||
I just wann' be, another song | |||
So I don't mind that we don't talk to me | |||
True, said that you know that song? | |||
Hearing "okay, | |||

=== wac === | |||
Hello, nice to meet you, I'm .djw. Hmm, anyhow, I'm wac. Yes, I'm a lonely person who wants to eat a black colored sunburnt eggplant, and my wisdom teeth hurt. | |||
Even if you say there's a super high tension, it's impossible because I have low blood pressure. Going to the convenience store is as bad as a punishment game.<br> | |||
And then I ran away. To the ends of the earth.<br> | |||
This is how I made such murmur twins. | |||
* For the time being, I wanted to create a different song from the usual. | |||
* For the time being, I wanted to create a dark song. | |||
* Well, major seventh chords are banned. | |||
* Then, secondary dominant chords are banned too. | |||
* Should I also ban mellotron styles? | |||
* But it's not good to be too restricted in such things! | |||
* I eventually created disco-styled with little time to think about it, and I rushed through it with melody and chords that came to mind. | |||
* The beginning surely respects a student lifestyle. It's abbreviated as m.m.t., right? (grins). | |||
* Rather, it respects a certain senior. I wanted to try making it once. | |||
* I wonder if the breaks respect the piano's "jai" and "novi" keysounds. An invincible man. | |||
* The theremin-like that can be heard in the distance respects an expert. With an image of bringing a girl in the audience on stage to play it. | |||
* The guitar-like sound that can be heard in the distance respects a crybaby feeling of a dead person. Or rather the person themselves. | |||
* To summarize, in order to be myself... it's already enough, right? | |||
Anyways, that's why I was immediately embarrassed when I made the demo, and I was somewhat uncomfortable with it (as usual in the beginning)<br> | |||
But with Tokiwa as the vocalist (but I'm glad the song title wasn't Pudding a-la mode)<br> | |||
With kaeru's girly movie (but it'd be the best joke if [[Regulus]]' files were near the trash bin)<br> | |||
And everyone who liked this song (I'd be happy if this song caused you to start listening to music you never had the chance to hear)<br> | |||
Thanks to everyone, I now like this song. Thank you. | |||
Speaking of new song introductions, this was a long section. That's right kaeru. Next is the turn of the opposing team. | |||
== Video Production Information == | |||
=== kaeru === | |||
It's nice to meet you IIDX fans. I'm from the opposing team.<br> | |||
I had a faint dream of wanting to create a fake girly movie once in my life, like any colorful designer, and now it's really happened. What a surprise.<br> | |||
Furthermore, it was my IIDX debut on the big stage, so my amazement doubled.<br> | |||
The responsibility and weight of the two directors' smiles made me nervous for a week, but I had a lot of fun making this. Also, I always learn a lot from working on different jobs. I fully realized I was living with inertia everyday. | |||
As a person who isn't discouraged from not being able to stand a tripod, [[Gyo Eguchi|VJ GYO]] guided me with a smile.<br> | |||
wac started slowly cutting his nails while saying "if it's impossible for you, leave it to me!".<br> | |||
[[Yoshiko Shiroki|shiro]] easily consented in one line when I nervously asked for her permission to use shiroro.<br> | |||
Thank you very much for everything, everyone. | |||
I'm sorry for my personal explanation of this movie, but when I listened to this song for the first time, "words" were the point!<br> | |||
With that thought, I filled it with words.<br> | |||
It was difficult to stop, as I was deluded by the very wonderful song and cute singing voice.<br> | |||
Perhaps .djw is a file that promotes imagination. Maybe.<br> | |||
... And I'm confessing here, the lyrics and words in this movie are completely unrelated.<br> | |||
Everyone tried their best to understand the lyrics! Tokiwa's lyrics! I'm sorry. (smiles) | |||
That's why I combined the 26 letters of the alphabet like a puzzle.<br> | |||
"We can form any word! We can do anything!"<br> | |||
This is a story of invincible twins who use magic words to obtain everything in the world.<br> | |||
Someday, they'll become adults and forget how to use magic, but they'd have illusions that they regained their pure feelings.<br> | |||
And if those delusions were loved by approximately one million fake girls across Japan (regardless of gender). I'll be very happy. Santa Maria. | |||
So, I'm going to leave it at that. Sorry for the long section. ... So I won against wac? | |||

Song Production Information

Hello, nice to meet you, I'm .djw. Hmm, anyhow, I'm wac. Yes, I'm a lonely person who wants to eat a black colored sunburnt eggplant, and my wisdom teeth hurt.
Even if you say there's a super high tension, it's impossible because I have low blood pressure. Going to the convenience store is as bad as a punishment game.
And then I ran away. To the ends of the earth.
This is how I made such murmur twins.
- For the time being, I wanted to create a different song from the usual.
- For the time being, I wanted to create a dark song.
- Well, major seventh chords are banned.
- Then, secondary dominant chords are banned too.
- Should I also ban mellotron styles?
- But it's not good to be too restricted in such things!
- I eventually created disco-styled with little time to think about it, and I rushed through it with melody and chords that came to mind.
- The beginning surely respects a student lifestyle. It's abbreviated as m.m.t., right? (grins).
- Rather, it respects a certain senior. I wanted to try making it once.
- I wonder if the breaks respect the piano's "jai" and "novi" keysounds. An invincible man.
- The theremin-like that can be heard in the distance respects an expert. With an image of bringing a girl in the audience on stage to play it.
- The guitar-like sound that can be heard in the distance respects a crybaby feeling of a dead person. Or rather the person themselves.
- To summarize, in order to be myself... it's already enough, right?
Anyways, that's why I was immediately embarrassed when I made the demo, and I was somewhat uncomfortable with it (as usual in the beginning)
But with Tokiwa as the vocalist (but I'm glad the song title wasn't Pudding a-la mode)
With kaeru's girly movie (but it'd be the best joke if Regulus' files were near the trash bin)
And everyone who liked this song (I'd be happy if this song caused you to start listening to music you never had the chance to hear)
Thanks to everyone, I now like this song. Thank you.
Speaking of new song introductions, this was a long section. That's right kaeru. Next is the turn of the opposing team.

It's nice to meet you IIDX fans. I'm from the opposing team.
I had a faint dream of wanting to create a fake girly movie once in my life, like any colorful designer, and now it's really happened. What a surprise.
Furthermore, it was my IIDX debut on the big stage, so my amazement doubled.
The responsibility and weight of the two directors' smiles made me nervous for a week, but I had a lot of fun making this. Also, I always learn a lot from working on different jobs. I fully realized I was living with inertia everyday.
As a person who isn't discouraged from not being able to stand a tripod, VJ GYO guided me with a smile.
wac started slowly cutting his nails while saying "if it's impossible for you, leave it to me!".
shiro easily consented in one line when I nervously asked for her permission to use shiroro.
Thank you very much for everything, everyone.
I'm sorry for my personal explanation of this movie, but when I listened to this song for the first time, "words" were the point!
With that thought, I filled it with words.
It was difficult to stop, as I was deluded by the very wonderful song and cute singing voice.
Perhaps .djw is a file that promotes imagination. Maybe.
... And I'm confessing here, the lyrics and words in this movie are completely unrelated.
Everyone tried their best to understand the lyrics! Tokiwa's lyrics! I'm sorry. (smiles)
That's why I combined the 26 letters of the alphabet like a puzzle.
"We can form any word! We can do anything!"
This is a story of invincible twins who use magic words to obtain everything in the world.
Someday, they'll become adults and forget how to use magic, but they'd have illusions that they regained their pure feelings.
And if those delusions were loved by approximately one million fake girls across Japan (regardless of gender). I'll be very happy. Santa Maria.
So, I'm going to leave it at that. Sorry for the long section. ... So I won against wac?
