Song Production Information

PINK PONG

How are you? This is PINK PONG.

I was requested to submit a song for this style. At first, I was a bit embarrassed by the song I submitted, but I was surprised when the directors accepted it.
As you know, the theme for this style is "war", and I was wondering how to tie a song into it.
While listening to some repetitive music, I had an idea about someone fighting and having a change of heart. Yeah! I really liked the thought of it and started to compose the song, worried about how I could make such a song but somehow able to make it work.
The song I made was much different than what I usually compose, but I think it will open up new roads for me.
Please enjoy!

Video Production Information

Yumi Yoshimura & Hide Takahashi

Like a still painting, I wanted to have some detail in the movie without overly detracting from the song.
With such a song, it was a good idea to make a movie that went along with the blissful feeling of the music.

By the way, "madrugada" is Spanish for "dawn".
That is why most of the movie is in black and white until the end, when more color is revealed.

I wanted to have a mature movie with a stylish flair.
