I didn't have time during the production of GOTTAMIX, so I quickly made it with basic equipment in tears, and it resonated with me. (It doesn't means it's good if you have time to make it with good equipment, however...)<br> | |||
So for that reason, I tried to create it with the thought of "let's settle it", but after all, "It's selfish of me ~smug~" (... You've heard that somewhere, right?).<br> | |||
Also, did I promise club/techno-styled rhythms for a while? I was fed up with "four-beat kicks", so let's go with a 2STEP without "four-beat kicks"!... So I said. | |||
Now, when I just started production, I reunited with the guitarist named Kenji Suzuki after 10 years for another project.<br> | |||
He was from the same music school as me, and has played the catchy guitar since then. He is currently very active in the major scene, recording and touring for artists such as Hikaru Utada and Misia!<br> | |||
Well, when I saw him play amazingly up-close, I suddenly felt weak and immediately told him, "Oh, I'll stop playing the guitar myself this time".<br> | |||
(I poorly played the guitar in [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]]'s [[SOMETHING WONDERFUL|song]]... Kaku-chan, I'm sorry [laughs])<br> | |||
So listen & press to his nice guitar play. | |||

Song Production Information
beatmania IIDX 5th style -new songs collection-
"Free diving Johnny" Togo
I tried to rearrange this song, originally based on the song "more deep", included on the now nostalgic "beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX" (released in 1999), and incorporated it with a genre called 2STEP.
I didn't have time during the production of GOTTAMIX, so I quickly made it with basic equipment in tears, and it resonated with me. (It doesn't means it's good if you have time to make it with good equipment, however...)
So for that reason, I tried to create it with the thought of "let's settle it", but after all, "It's selfish of me ~smug~" (... You've heard that somewhere, right?).
Also, did I promise club/techno-styled rhythms for a while? I was fed up with "four-beat kicks", so let's go with a 2STEP without "four-beat kicks"!... So I said.
Now, when I just started production, I reunited with the guitarist named Kenji Suzuki after 10 years for another project.
He was from the same music school as me, and has played the catchy guitar since then. He is currently very active in the major scene, recording and touring for artists such as Hikaru Utada and Misia!
Well, when I saw him play amazingly up-close, I suddenly felt weak and immediately told him, "Oh, I'll stop playing the guitar myself this time".
(I poorly played the guitar in L.E.D.'s song... Kaku-chan, I'm sorry [laughs])
So listen & press to his nice guitar play.
Of course, the cute honey(?) diva "Sana" doubles in activeness and charm as the vocalist!
Oh..., and the sound director of pop'n, "Haya-P", also participates in it.
I want to make a long version of this song someday for music CDs etc., so by all means, please listen to that melody again.

Togo
I tried to include an old A.O.R.-styled mature(?) melody in a 2STEP-styled beat.
It's always a headache reaching a compromise with the contradictory "club/dance progression" VS. "song progression with a story".
I also had dystocia this time, but I somehow gave birth safely!
He's also active as a guitarist for artists such as Misia and Hikaru Utada, and Suzuken's (Kenji Suzuki) guitar is effective.
Sana
"more deep" is perhaps the most mature song I've currently sung.
Two people in love burn their hearts out, then turn into stardust and disappear in the night sky.
At that time, the power of love released was so deep, that Sana had selfish delusions of it as not deeper, but "more deep".
Have you ever been hot, that you think it's alright to fall when you're already falling?
CS Information Data
DDRMAX2 -DanceDanceRevolution-

Video Production Information
beatmania IIDX 5th style -new songs collection-
Yasi
The original song was two years ago... Time flies by so fast.
At that time, I never thought these types of movies would be included in the home version of beatmania, from the pixel art movies in the 5-key beatmania.... There were still rumors about the PS2's performance level.
Well, finally this time, I mean, I finally said... It appeared. BEMANI's diva, the true face of Sana.
In the previous work, "SANA MOLLETE NE ENTE", some effects were overexposed for her to remain anonymous, but it received a poor reception for being "scary" and "irritating", so I tried to keep it as straightforward as possible this time.
The location was in a rented studio in Tokyo.
I tried to capture as much footage of Togo-chef's hands as possible, so I unreasonably interfered in the filming.
For some reason, Sana is wearing a stage costume, although she was supposed to be in "plain" clothes.

Yasi
It felt like a rather long time ago now that I've created this video, and my memories of making it are fading, but...
Anyways, I didn't have materials or time to make the movie, so I unreasonably interfered with the song's recording in the studio and filmed it.
There was something like a rough "aim" to show the behind-the-scenes atmosphere of an artist, but in the end, it became a movie which appeared as it was with no twists, so I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved and apologize.
Come to think of it, Sana's vocal debut in the first PS version of beatmania in 1998 started as a half-joking form, but good memories remained of the key figures, Togo and Sana.
