Song Production Information

D.J.SETUP

You can hear the voices of the dead echoing up from the "lower world".
You'll soon know what kind of world after death is like for those who have committed evil.

Video Production Information

Mikoshiba

I've helped out here once again. I'm Mikoshiba.
It's still a huge honor to use materials for things other than movies! Thank you very much.

I'd like to thank everyone who helped me out, even though the production was on a demanding schedule.
In particular, VJ GYO gave me a lot of advice as my leader, GOLI suggested me various ideas with his imagination, and D.J.SETUP consistently smiled at me from beginning to end of the production, but thanks to everyone, I had a very enjoyable IIDX help life, even through difficulties.

As the person in charge of "lower world"'s movie, I was very worried about expressing the strong contrast of the song with cool impact in the visuals.
The song's overall impression contains themes of "a stoic search for truth", "a sense of cleanliness", and "a man's quiet but hot drama", which I used as the key points to complete this movie (my own ideas, of course), so how was it?
