The sound director [[Takayuki Ishikawa|TAKA]] told me "OK, create a gospel song next".<br>
I'm wac, a former chorister. I'm still a chorister. Is it because I'm a choir guy?<br>
When I say choir, it's a boys choir at a boys school, so it's a world where 100 young boys yell "hoiya, hoiya, shuuririenen".<br>
I wonder if it's similar to Tamayura. Rather, I said for it to be in that direction.<br>
I said "No, acapella is next". Something changed. No, acapella is impossible to include in this game.
 
Firstly.<br>
As it's often said, gospel means the Word of God.<br>
I'm a man who sometimes believes in God and Buddha? I wonder if I'm qualified to speak about the Word of God.<br>
However, TAKA told me "No, create a gospel song next".<br>
"But God still won't descend".
 
Therefore.<br>
For now, God will honorably descend in the end, so please do your best to not be taken away in the world by the five triplets singing "tralalalala".<br>
Look, this is gospel! Or rather, it's pareidolia.<br>
Actually, MARI's cheerful lyrics, the up-and-coming gospel group CoCoRo*Co, and Lala Moore's session surpassing space-time, somehow reached a gospel-like joyphilia, maybe, probably, no way, I don't think so.
 
This loss is dedicated to those who know such differences, no, it's Make a Difference.<br>
This song isn't brought up as a topic in the first place, but when it's brought up, it's "tralalalala", so I created this for LIGHT7. Even now, I regret every night that I should've created this normally.<br>
God won't descend, so to those who are confident in playing this song, please sometimes rejoice in the joy of life.

This is the first "GOSPEL" genre song included in the IIDX series, which feels unique.<br>
When I went on a sightseeing trip in America a long time ago, during an optional sightseeing tour of New York City, I had the opportunity to listen to this kinds of music at the end of a church in Harlem.<br>
Regardless of music likes and dislikes, I remember feeling sincerely moved by all the deeply religious people singing in a way which integrated their daily rituals in everyday life.
 
At that time, I didn't imagine it'd connect with music in IIDX, and conversely, even when I listen to this song, it doesn't connect with my image of that time.
 
However, I saw family and friends playing together, lovers talking to each other, and people walking their dogs at the local park... I was inspired seeing the locals having fun!<br>
I remember those happy and cheerful feelings of when I was among warm, gentle, and bright people who cheerfully called out to me!<br>
As expected of this song!
