Song Production Information

People say that Latin means hot.
It doesn't simply mean that chili sauce is spicy (hot). I think it's actually from the several dramas hidden in the quick Latin groove.
I placed concepts such as being betrayed by a loved one, fear of aging, and regrets, into a melancholic melody, without stopping to cry.
The bpm accelerates as your emotions gradually release.
The salsa piano that appears in the middle of the song is a common Cuban groove called montuno.
I'm playing it here even faster than a typical salsa. This is also a Latin technique performed in four beats, but briefly sounds like an odd time signature.
When you play through Nikita's sadness and anger, your heart will also be released.

You need to immediately see this when it's released! After playing the intro while remembering your excitement, as if you're watching an exciting movie trailer, you'll enter a dramatic and thrilling large-scale world developed in a movie, as if you're travelling down a stream which occasionally become rapids and waterfalls.
That's why the song's difficulty level is also high, but after you successfully cleared this song, you will feel an irreplaceable satisfactory feeling, as if you completely empathized with the protagonist when you finished watching a masterpiece.
