=== Kanako Hoshino ===
This song features the unit, Caldeira feat.Kanako Hoshino!? It was made by them. This first English word is read as Karudera, a duo consisting of DJ Yoshitaka, who has taken care of me since [[D.A.N.C.E.!|my BEMANI debut]], and TOMOSUKE, another person I talked to and became friends with during [[BEMANI EXPO]], who wrote this song for me for the first time, and they created this song together.<br>
Since "INFERNO" means flames, I'm wearing a red dress in the movie, which looks moe, no, it's burning.<br>
Hoshino has appeared in [[SPARK !|movies]] [[Gekkou|alone]] until now, and this time, three people appear, so it's a must-see☆彡<br>
Also, I haven't sung this genre until now, and had a mature-ish impression of it, so I guess I'm very embarrassed to say that the lyrics are also mature-ish (*^_^*). That's what I wrote. Therefore, I want everyone to play, watch, and listen to this proud song many times, so if you're reading this, please immediately visit the arcade!!
 
=== DJ Yoshitaka ===
TOMO-chin, who endlessly loves Brazil, said while drinking espresso, "I seriously love Brazil.... ha..", so I say, while drinking my café au lait with 90% added milk, "I also love Brazil", and that was the moment this song was born.<br>
The sound of its birth was so loud that I covered my ears and said, "isn't this seriously similar to Gian's singing", and then TOMO-chin sadly shook his head...
 
We passed by each other just a bit.
 
=== TOMOSUKE ===
This is an ambitious song by a duo who deeply loves Brazil, who blasted the backing track late at night, and sung the melody out loud while thinking up the melody.<br>
Since we have very similar musical goals, the conversation quickly went from smooth love → wedding ceremony → childbirth.<br>
By the way, as someone who was living a reserved life, I appeared in the PV due to Yoshi-kun's elaborate plot, but I naturally don't play the Rhodes intensely like that (laughs). It's truly impossible.

=== matsushita@tksd / TOKYO SYOKUDO ===
Sorry to bother you again. I'm matsushita from TOKYO SYOKUDO.<br>
This is suddenly my third time participating here, so it's written as TOKYO SYOKUDO (3) in red and white.<br>
Continuing from my previous video "Gekkou" from [[AC HAPPY SKY|HAPPYSKY]], I was requested to make another Kanako Hoshino live-action video.<br>
I'm truly honored.
 
This video was discussed in advance with the [[Tatsuya Shimizu|sound director]], and when I received the story, its concept image already started.<br>
[[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] started drawing pictures on a whiteboard while representing everyone. (... with his own handwriting!)<br>
On the day the song title "INFERNO" was decided, I decided its image with the following three points.<br>
"There's a sofa"<br>
"There's a three-person seating arrangement where Hoshino is in the center"<br>
"There is a fashionable trio"
 
Well, since I already established a solid image of it, although the story seemed relatively easy to start making, the final point was personally the most difficult.<br>
I'm in the completely opposite end of the endlessly fashionable position, and with my poor fashionable knowledge, I learned about various cultures, and spent the entire day intently listening to the song while thinking about it.<br>
Oh, is it going to be difficult?
 
However, when we actually worked on it, the storyboard passed the first draft.<br>
When we went location scouting, we decided on a location in less than three days, which perfectly matched the staff and I had. Hoshino looks mature and cute in the deep crimson dress which reflects against the black and white concept color.<br>
TOMOSUKE's secret sound, the organ keyboard, was transported from his home to the rented studio.<br>
When we finished filming, it seemed like assembling a puzzle while following a blueprint, or making a surprising mousse at a king's restaurant, and I unusually completed it almost like the first storyboard (laughs), and it was a video which was blessed with both the song and staff.<br>
([[Gyo Eguchi|VJ GYO]], GOLI, thank you very much for your cooperation)
 
I'd be happy if this video further conveys the charm of Hoshino, who became more mature and cute.<br>
(... What about the other two?)
 
In the video's second half, during the Caldeira duo (DJ Yoshitaka and TOMOSUKE)'s low angle scene, I ended up slightly cutting the section where the "young CHAGE ●su part" clearly appeared from the person's strong request, by a total of one second and two frames, so I'd like to apologize to all Caldeira fans across Japan.
 
It ended up being very long, but someday, there'll be a full-size version of the trio, including the two people performing on both sides, and I'm looking forward to the day when all 16 patterns of the "young CHA●●  ASU part" will be revealed.
