Even though it's techno, it's a genre with many different types, so I had to think about what type of song to make. Afterwards, I was relieved when the genre was decided to be "J-tekno". By the way, "J=Japan" in J-tekno. From my own interpretation, old Japanese hit songs have a certain regularity to how chords are used, and I was also inadvertently moved by those sections (I understood this when I started composing), so this time, I decided to use chords unique to Japan as its "core". And since the word tekno was part of it, I created this song by arranging and programming all the parts so that normal people can feel that its related to techno. And then I completed it after many adjustments. Is it easy to understand and listen to as I expected? This song is unique for having a grandiose arrangement. If you listen to it, perhaps you'll recognize the artist I liked back then. That artist even has a big influence on me today. But that's a secret.
