Song Production Information
beatmania
SLAKE
GAMBOL, which was in the first IIDX, makes an unexpected return.
I chose GAMBOL as the song's name because the bass felt like rubber (gum) and the rhythms bounced like a ball.
It feels like that was such a long time ago.
beatmania IIDX
dj nagureo
This is SLAKE's first time participating as a full-time beatmania staff member.
SLAKE is a DJ that mainly produces drum'n'bass tracks, and will be active in beatmania's "deep & spiritual" division as a trackmaker and producer.
I wasn't expecting him to come through with a big beat/digi-rock track, and I hurriedly asked for production. The special movie helps the song give off a darker sense compared to the other songs at beatmania's core.
DanceDanceRevolution
Aggressive distorted guitar sounds over deep, fat drum sounds and a resonant bass.
The fat and chemical sound has become a worldwide phenomenon, especially in the UK, and the fact that it was immediately included in the beatmania series is a testament to its staff, who are always on the cutting edge of the times.
CS Information Data
DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution-
You have unlocked the song "GAMBOL" by SLAKE. Based on the big beat sound that blazed the electronic music scene in the late 90's, "GAMBOL" blends crashing electric beats with rockin' guitar riffs.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
The plan to make up a cop drama featuring the developers and use it as a music clip was proposed by MiZKiNG at the first meeting, but the actual production proved to be quite a challenge.
The cast was all beatmania IIDX developers, each specializing in a different field and busy at different times. Even though the movie was less than 2 minutes long, it was very difficult for one person to handle various roles such as director, assistant director, script, storyboard, camera, lighting, casting, promotion, design, recording, location scouting... what else? It was a lot of work for one person to handle all these different roles. And all but one of the actors were my seniors and supervisors...
However, once the shooting started, everyone involved got into the groove and it was over in no time at all.
It was a great learning experience in many aspects, and the longest and most memorable "sports-oriented" movie I have ever made.
