This song contains live riffs and constantly changing rhythms.
Regardless of the tempo, the song is powerful and energetic.
It's suitable for advanced players, as it has difficult and interesting charts.

"Radical: a fundamental shift; something out of the ordinary;
Faith: trust; conviction (see the dictionary)
That's what I followed through!"

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Led by a mysterious man known as colonel (a bearded person), a special forces team infiltrated the headquarters of a black-cladded mercenary unit in order to defeat them...
Filmed at a dark place in a determined sensitized state, it's a realistic action drama featuring the IIDX staff, which is rough like an image displayed through a night-vision scope, and combined with rough textures and unexpected camerawork similar to live visuals...

Based on these movie-like visuals, I likened this theme song (it's rather embarrassing to say~) to an artist's promotional video of a film.
Needless to say, as the film's trailer cut is combined with visuals of himself, this is TaQ's first IIDX video appearance.
I made TaQ appear in a way which established him like casually viewing his perspective of a drama part, so many people may or may not have immediately recognized him.
TaQ's filming time was very short and nearly up because of a scheduling error, but he graciously agreed to do it (thank you!), which it was a very enjoyable time.

If you say "I don't know who TaQ is~", the developing monochrome tone throughout the movie has partially colored-cuts.
Please pay attention to the colors.
TaQ's favorite color is "blue".

Staff Comments

I love "rust"-like textures.
