Song Production Information
Yoshihiko Koezuka
This song was composed in a slightly different way than usual.
Since my previous work (around the time "Moonlight walkin'" was completed), I had been working on the melody, lyrics, and arrangement in my head every night in the car on the way home from work. And all the parts were perfect in my head (I thought, "I'm a genius!"), but when I tried to put it into sound, it was pretty terrible... (I thought, "I'm not a genius!"), and after many revisions, the composition was completed. With the addition of vivi's sweet voice, just as I had imagined in my mind, I was very satisfied with the result. (Next week, we plan to do an artist interview with vivi, so please look forward to that as well!)
After the song was completed, I had a careful discussion with Mocchy about the clip, and we came up with a very cute result.
The main character (a girl named Rose) was drawn exactly as I had imagined and is my favorite.
The other characters include Arai-kun, a raccoon, and Nakajima-kun, who is making his second appearance, so look out for them!
Video Production Information
Mocchy
Well, this clip was made in a slightly different way from the previous ones. (Huh?)
After the main girl character (Rose) is finalized, normally I do "Me = Director ・ Character = Actor".
I usually proceed in the same way.... But in this clip, the director was Mr. Koezuka.
After many meetings with director Koezuka, as we proceeded with the production...Rose and I gradually became one! Not in terms of physical appearance, but in terms of emotion.
When Rose-chan was smiling happily, I was happy too, and when I was drawing a scene where she was sad, it was really painful. (I was like Kitajima○○ in the role)
"Sweet Illusion" is cute, gentle, and a little sad.
