Song Production Information

Nice to meet you all, I am IT medalion.
This is my first time participating in this.

For my first song in this series, how could I fit it into such a unique game?
How could I make it memorable? After thinking about it, I produced a song.

I am glad to have participated in this.
I thank you all for your support and hope to do more in the future.

Why is the song called Aegis?

Aegis? Aegis?

Anything that I feel is good.
I call it my aegis.

Video Production Information

Hello, my name is かーる, and this is my first time participating in this.

I felt that Aegis was a good song because of its great tempo, so I wanted to make a movie that portrayed this tempo without becoming overbearing or distracting.

I kind of started slow and felt a bit tense in making this movie but looking back at it now, I feel that I had an enjoyable experience.
