Song Production Information

dj TAKA

After 2nd style's development cycle ended, this was the first song to be created.
As the game entered the final stages and things like the data check and such, I got a little tired of hearing techno sounds all the time, so immediately following the end, I created something with a bit more calm.
Just thinking about this song, I feel like that right now.
For the direction of the song, imagine something like an airplane flying in the morning glow. It's a lovely image, isn't it?
Our intention was to just leave it as a freebie in the game data, but instead, we decided to make it the ending song. I think it does a fine job.
