Song Production Information

There are generations divided on whether they think "it's a KEYBOARDMANIA song!" or "it's a song that played at the arcade first thing in the morning!".
Personally, "it's the song that I listened until the flexi disc attached to the magazine was about to wear out!".
I'm worried about whether the word "flexi disc" will be understood by young people who think that it's a KEYBOARDMANIA song.

I heard that it's the debut song created by the person who caused me to start liking KONAMI's video game music.
As mentioned above, two versions of this song are included in KEYBOARDMANIA, but this time, I tried to arrange it using an organ, so that you can feel the original song's atmosphere with a keyboard instrument arrangement.
I'd like you to listen to the piano arrangement version someday, which was exclusive to the first location test.

When I played this song, retro video game music fans such as L.E.D. and Sota gathered around.
This song's very existence is nostalgic, and no matter how you think about it, it's a song which represents NOSTALGIA.
