Song Production Information

Reven-G

"Sakura" is the flower in the hearts of Japanese people.
When I listen to this melody, I strangely feel nostalgic, something which awakens my Japanese genes.
Although the rhythm is based on the artificial rhythm of MAXX UNLIMITED, it has been fully refined and customized throughout the song.
I introduced traditional Japanese instruments in the arrangement, fusing them with current synthesizer technology.

As a Japanese person, I've recently made a lot of songs with traditional and classical Japanese music as the theme, but now the songs under Reven-G are finally departing Japan and heading towards Europe.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

When you think about it, it's really amazing that you can clearly understand which country this song is from, by the instruments used and its melody. I think it's surprising.
Music evolves while spreading. I think that's one of the charms of dance music.
On the other hand, this song deepens evolution and promotes new music.

On the dance floor filled with people wearing various non-national costumes, wearing an extravagant and seasonal kimono with bright flowing patterns (would men wear oyoroi and jinbaori?), would attract big attention! It feels like that.

Staff Comments

RICE.C

This is my favorite song. Japanese things are hot.

I've received many e-mails asking "who's that girl?". Thank you. As you can see, she's ALICE. Although she's from Hong Kong, please don't mind that she's wearing a kimono. I thought a kimono suited her the most..

I wonder if this theme is "beauty-styled honor".
