Song Production Information
good-cool
TAKA's instructions were to create "a sturdy human-like sound with an African theme".
This song features the vocalist Raj Ramayya.
Raj was also in charge of the vocals for "BOBBY SUE AND SKINNY JIM" in Gitadora.
When TAKA asked me to "include a voice like that", I thought he was the only suitable person for this.
I immediately phoned Raj and went to meet him at an Indian restaurant to eat curry. Both of us became curry masters and spent nearly two hours having silly conversations which were barely related to this song, but the meeting was eventually completed successfully!! (laughs)
After that, I quickly created and submitted a song demo, but TAKA criticized it as "perhaps being a little too digital-ish".
F-FLY, who was in charge of the movie, demanded me to "redo it aga~~~in!!"... (tears)
I regained my motivation here, and created a completely brand-new song.
Firstly, I needed it to feel completely African.
One day, when I was hanging out with Ryu* and Dai-chan.
We casually passed by a general store and found a kalimba. A kalimba is an African musical instrument which has various long iron sheets lined across a wooden board.
They left it alone and looked around for nice things to buy.
I naturally didn't know how to play it, but just by playing it properly, it makes an extremely somewhat authentic-ish sound.
This feels completely African!!
I can see a herd of elephants in front of me!!
It seems I can count the stripes on a zebra from 2km away!!
That's how I completed this song, and when I finally got the OK, I was so happy that I unconsciously spoke in Swahili.

Recording "Move me" with Tatsuya Furukawa was indeed a pleasure.
The song really grooves and I am sure that it will have an impact on IIDX fans around the world!
I have worked with several producer/songwriters and Tatsuya is definetly one of the coolest.
I look forward to more collaborations in the future and creating more great songs for all you game enthusiasts.
Cheers

Video Production Information

>F-FLY, who was in charge of the movie, demanded me to "redo it aga~~~in!!"... (tears)
Huh!! Is this true (tears)!? Ahh~~h~~h~~ I'm sorry!!
That was the concept for the "introduction, development, turn, and conclusion" video series!
This was an innovative project "from the movie designers asking the sound designers that they would include visuals like this in their songs", but it was a difficult thing for me, who only knew music as a hobby (I played the piano until high school, and just played the guitar)...
As someone with no musical knowledge, casually suggesting "I want this kind of song" was an extre~~mely difficult thing... ignorance is scary...
To be honest, I couldn't help but feel sorry about this project...
For this "AFRICA" theme, I wanted to incorporate things which haven't currently been included in the IIDX series! So I made this suggestion. Even though beatmania has reggae songs, there hasn't been a song with this feeling?
I hope I can teach everyone about the wonderful music worldwide in this way... that's my opinion, but what do you think?
