This song was largely composed while TaQ was recuperating in a hospital, which is largely the source of the frustrated, yet energetic feel of the song.  The title is a reference to hospital walls based on a conversation TaQ had with another patient.

The final wall is all too innocently ...
I imagined the "Walls" of "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti.<br>
Something like, "the walls are innocent, no matter what is expressed on them".<br>
"The pen is mightier than the sword", right?<br>
"Don't make your point through violence, express it to the wall. There's no guilt in complaining to the wall". I wonder if it feels like this?<br>

Since this is a very bold song, I wanted the movie to have the same sort of vigorous feeling to it. (Do you get it? Don't wory about it, and just get into the feeling.)
== Difficulty & Notecounts ==
beatmania IIDX difficulty rated 1 to 8 in 10th style, 1 to 8+ in IIDX RED, and 1 to 12 in HAPPY SKY onwards.


I had the image of the "walls" in "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti. "No matter what is written on the wall, the wall is innocent - it has committed no crime." Something like that. Not really the same as "the pen is mightier than the sword". "Don't emphasize the violent aspect, but rather the expression on the wall. There's nothing wrong with using a wall this way." That kind of feeling is what I was aiming for ... (But be careful! In reality, it's a crime to write graffiti on the walls!)

So. The graffiti style. Street style. I went for a mix of the blood-splatter-like design + typography + TaQ. I don't think anyone realizes it, but the images are taken from the first Secret Live event.

The last wall was too innocent.

Video Production Information

F-FLY

It has a very powerful melody, so I also tried to make a very powerful video. (Don't you know what I mean? Don't worry, please follow its feeling)

I imagined the "Walls" of "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti.
Something like, "the walls are innocent, no matter what is expressed on them".
"The pen is mightier than the sword", right?
"Don't make your point through violence, express it to the wall. There's no guilt in complaining to the wall". I wonder if it feels like this?
And...
(Be careful!! In reality, it's a crime to cover walls with graffiti!!)

That's why. It has a graffiti style. A street style.
I tried to mix the blood splatter design + typography + TaQ.
No one will notice it, but I also included footage from secret LIVE.
