Song Production Information

This song's selling point is that I made full use of the MIDI functions of the currently out-of-print "MSX turboR (A1-GT)". It is a good thing that it didn't take much production time.
As for the song, it is embedded with phrases that have a great potential to capture the hearts of the Japanese people, and a grandiose arrangement & light rhythms that feature an obvious progression. That was my aim. I will be glad if many people play this song.
