Song Connections/Remixes

• A down-tempo, extended version appears on TaQ's album ongaq:stromatolite.
• The another for this song sounds significantly differently than the other charts.

Trivia

• This song was largely composed while TaQ was recuperating in a hospital. The title is a reference to hospital walls based on a conversation TaQ had with another patient.
• According to TaQ, he wrote the note charts for the song.
• In AC GOLD, the HYPER and ANOTHER charts could still be simultaneously played with two players as seen in this video. This has been fixed as of AC DJ TROOPERS.
• Retroactively, Innocent Walls is the first song to have a Level 12 Single HYPER chart.

Music Production Notes

The final wall is all too innocently ...

Video Production Notes

Since this is a very bold song, I wanted the movie to have the same sort of vigorous feeling to it. (Do you get it? Don't wory about it, and just get into the feeling.)

I had the image of the "walls" in "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti. "No matter what is written on the wall, the wall is innocent - it has committed no crime." Something like that. Not really the same as "the pen is mightier than the sword". "Don't emphasize the violent aspect, but rather the expression on the wall. There's nothing wrong with using a wall this way." That kind of feeling is what I was aiming for ... (But be careful! In reality, it's a crime to write graffiti on the walls!)

So. The graffiti style. Street style. I went for a mix of the blood-splatter-like design + typography + TaQ. I don't think anyone realizes it, but the images are taken from the first Secret Live event.
