Song Production Information

Dirty Androids

This song was made in mind with the theme of "contrasts".

"Yin" and "yang"

"Positive" and "negative"

"Outdoor" and "indoor"

"Vacation" and "hard work"

"Going out" and "withdrawal"

And a number of keywords.

Extroverted and "resort", in a "game" that contrasts with introverts, as the game soundtrack medley of the game world plays from the end intro to that of the Parallel World, I wrote and made one song that connects these contrasts.

A whip-wielding man was the image source of this song?

Thanks to that, I have a hard track that builds up momentum as it goes. I appreciate L.E.D. for coming out to sound check for this occasion.
