"The staircase and me"
My grandfather was an art teacher in Hokkaido.
He passed away in March, right before I graduated from high school.
There was still deep snow in Hokkaido.
As my grandfather was receiving medical treatment at home, he used all his remaining strength to get up from his sickbed and finish his final artwork.
It depicted a large snow staircase in a garden.
It may have been the staircase to heaven, a sign he sensed his own death?
He was a devout Christian believer, who went to be with the Lord three days later.
Inheriting my grandfather's blood, I promised myself to someday create my own staircase to climb during my life.

There's a staircase in this song! It's not from the above story.
Then what was written above? Hmm, it's a nice story.
As a keyboard player, I like staircase notecharts, so here it is.
I like to finger stroke them because it feels like a musical performance.
If it's a staircase notechart, I can compete with the best players in the world! When I enthusiastically went to the arcade to watch them play, they used the RANDOM modifier, which devastated me.

To be honest, i's a strange song made early in development, as the vocals were not recorded in time for the location test, so I "included" the instrumental version in the location test, and it was "retained as a bonus song", but there are people who say it's their favorite, which I find bittersweet.

As a side note, the title Regulus isn't related to the composer's Zodiac sign or baseball. Probably.
Forgive me for the long message. Did I beat VJ GYO?

By the way, what does DJ stand for?

It's generally abbreviated from Disk Jockey, isn't it?
They are active in places such as radio stations, clubs, and discos, but they commonly read the atmosphere of the place and "select and play" music to lead the audience in their intended direction.

However, in the case of W, he has completely different intentions.
It's disappointing that I can't freely write about it because of his wish (he clearly disproves of expressing this), but it shouldn't mean anything bad.

I remember that all the IIDX staff members were impressed by the song's high quality and potential to be a hit, that they shouted in unison.
It's said that "Regulus (OVER THE CLOUD)" took the longest time to produce in IIDX history (he's a very busy person who has other main job).

When the IIDX staff(?) saw him as a wise and patient composer, they took the effort to buy ○○○... The gap between the two sides of W(?) is too wonderful. (laughs)

DJ's two sides and appearances are unique to their abbreviated names, and have a double meaning.
