Lyrics

Japanese

タシカナモノはいつでもそう
この手にはつかめないだろうけど
たまには確かめたくなるよ
見えないやさしさをあげたい

君のまっすぐな瞳(め)が
この僕に魔法をかける☆彡

この扉の先の何か見つけに
迷い打ち消していく
いつか　見つけだしたとしたら
この手　はなさないように

君にいつも　この想い届けたい
ずっと

この扉の先の何か見つけに
迷い打ち消していく
いつか　見つけだしたとしたら
この手　はなさないように
ずっと

Song Production Information

Tatsh

This song is a KONAMI STYLE campaign song that I crossed over.
How was the IIDX composers' backing band?
I actually wanted to create a role and film each of them.

When I saw the movie after a long time, I noticed, "my hair was this long!".
It was long during those days. My hair grows fast, so I think it will be back to its original length soon.

Video Production Information

I tried to create a session-styled video centered around Kanako Hoshino, who was the only woman there.
A new song release celebration cake and dog somehow also appeared, which was filmed in a friendly atmosphere.
Along with her sweet singing voice & pop melody, glittering magic powder appears from Kanako's fingertips...
Those who are caught in this magic seem to become happy.

Well, are you playing 2DX DistorteD??
I talked a bit about filming the "INFERNO" movie last time, so this time, I think I should talk about "Tashikanamono", another song included in the game.

This song was a KONAMI STYLE campaign song last year, and it was written by Tatsh.
It's a song that's up-tempo but not four-beat, and it seemed nice to perform in a band, so the band also appeared in the movie(^-^) The members are TAKA (bass), ucchie (drums), Yoshitaka (DJ), and Tatsh (guitar), and I never performed live music at KONAMI, so it became rather fun☆

I met ucchie for the first time, but he was very easy to talk to and was a kind person, so I immediately opened up to him(^-^)
This time, we went to a recording studio in Narimasu, Itabashi, and a place like a huge warehouse with a rehearsal studio.

The filming staff brought a chihuahua to relax, but since it was a female, it wasn't attached with Hoshi(・_・| But it was very cute. I think it appeared briefly in the video.

During the production, there were many people who usually make music, so I was nervous and stiff in the beginning, but it became better each time as they said "I wonder if it seems fine to do this", and it became very fun. It was my first time using a skull microphone, and I thought it would be something perfect for a photo, so I took many photos of it. For the clothing, similar to "INFERNO", I chose and bought them with my own expenses(^-^) I wonder what I'll wear next!?

I took a photo at the start of the rehearsal studio where everyone was performing, then I took it at the recording studio, but there was a two-seated swing there, which was very unusual, so I also took a photo of it. At the recording studio, during the scenes where I sing and chat with everyone, as a surprise, I took a photo of when the "Tashikanamono" cake was silently given to me. The filming day was after my birthday, so it felt nice that I got to blow the candles and celebrate once again(^^)v

I think it turned out to be more than I thought!!

Twinkling stars☆彡 appear from the hands of Tatsh and myself (I'm looking forward to seeing it(^-^))
I think everyone appears on screen to be on good terms with each other. I personally think that the cool feeling Yoshitaka showed in "INFERNO", and the way he was playing around and ruined his image in "Tashikanamono" was a funny, funny highlight for Hoshino(^o^;
If you try and pay attention to such aspects, I think you can also enjoy it in a different way＼(~o~)／

I want to try acting in a drama-oriented movie with everyone next time(^-^)
If anyone has good ideas for what settings they like, good scripts, and who portrays what role, please tell me again(^!^)y~

Well, thank you for reading along with Hoshi's monolog!
The weather was bad this week, so let's hope it's sunny next week and be cheerful☆彡

I'm going fortune-telling next week!!
