Song Production Information

dj TAKA

This is the first song I made after the production of 2nd style finished.
As the game entered the final stages and I had to do data checks and other things, I was tired of listening to techno sounds all the time~, so right after I finished, I wanted to create a calm song.
Just thinking about this song, I feel like that right now.
Well, for the song's direction, I imagined a beautiful image, such as an airplane flying in the sunrise.
The game data was supposed to be a bonus, but people liked it, so I'm happy I created it.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

When I listen to this song now, various memories of the game production come to my mind like flashbacks.
I feel like my memories decrease when I talk about them, so please let me keep them as secrets in my heart.
Hmm~, it's becoming quite hot in my eyes.
