Music Production Info

The cherry blossom is the the flower in the heart of the Japanese people. When you listen to this melody, you feel a strange sense of nostalgia welling up inside you; it is if something is awakening within our genes. The rhythm is based on that of MaxX Unlimited, and is generally refined and customized into what it is now. I was able to mix in the use of traditional instruments as I pleased thanks to today's synthesizer technology.

We've recently made a lot of songs that have at their foundations classical Japanese traditions and musical ideas, but more and more the Reven-G name is looking more towards Europe for its ideas.

When you think about it, it's really amazing that people from different countries can all understand the same feelings communicated by a musical instrument and the melodies they create. I don't find it too surprising. Music has made lots of different evolutions as it's scattered across the world. I think that's one of the charms of dance music. On the other hand, there are songs that stimulate new musical progress as they themselves improve.

Among the people you see on the dance floor with nondescript clothing, a beautiful woman dancing alone in a splendidly colored kimono would attract lots of attention! (Maybe battle armor if it was a guy ... )
