Song Production Information

RAM

I think this is currently my most melodious song.
The sense of tempo and rhythm were as hard as ever, but I think that the high quality synth riffs are rather melodious and musical.
I don't make many songs like this, but trance has been growing recently, so I tried to create something similar out of interest.
The breakbeats section in the middle of the song feels abnormal from my usual style. (laughs)

Video Production Information

Yasi

On a different note, I was invited by the arcade team to the launch of beatmania (5-key) the other day.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. And good job once again.

However, it's been five years since I was involved in the original home version.
I personally enjoyed every song and video as a user, rather than as a producer.

Well, this movie was intended to be a homage of the minimal world of early beatmania, and it's fairly simple and easy to understand for me, but it was difficult to achieve in the end, and it's an excuse for my lack of skill, time, and expression.
