For this song, I took a specific approach to create its fusion sound. I combined a "dance" beat with a "Koto", which is a Japanese traditional instrument, and used them as the key sounds. In addition, I contrived its melody to have a feeling of oriental melancholy. I also use repetitive, catchy, phrases so the song definitely lends itself to dancing! The R&B sound has become much more popular among the Japanese music scene and has often been used in games.

As an example, for this song I strengthened each of the five snares and adjusted their attack time in order to make the sound thicker and heavier. Plus, I used an Access Virus, a plug-in for ProTools, to emphasize the bass part of the attack and to add more volume to the song as a whole. If I have a chance to make a full version of this track, I would accentuate the Koto part by arranging it with other Japanese instruments. This would be my dream and I'm hoping to release it someday in the future. | As an example, for this song I strengthened each of the five snares and adjusted their attack time in order to make the sound thicker and heavier.

Dream of love, for you and me I can see it in your eyes blessed with the moonlight You and I form a dream of love And you'll be you and me Fly away From a lot of memories In this place we once said goodbye Do you still love me? Can you prove it in your own way I'm still there finding a way out of it Too late, too late I just cannot let it go off of my mind But I'm gonna give it a try Dream of love, for you and me I can see it in your eyes blessed with the moonlight Truth of love, for you and me I can see it in your eyes so full of tears (You and I form a dream of love) Wanna be with you I found myself I'm still in love (And you'll be you and me) A dream of love We can't end this thing now
