Song Production Information

Jimmy Weckl

The song was made with a very weird feel to it.
For the request for the clip, I asked "Just be rough! Be weird!".
The atmosphere is a bit similar to a restaurant I used to frequent when I was a student.
(Of course, those guys weren't there, but...)

Video Production Information

mito

Hello, mito here.
I was in charge of the storyboarding, meeting, movie making, and porting it to the game.
Jimmy asked me to make it "rough, rough, rough" so I tried to keep a blur of light in a dimly lit area during the whole video.
The "joker" card is actually being held by the "joker" himself.
Do you get it?

TqY

Many creators have contributed their works to this year's edition of Gitadora.
For this work, NekoshowguN created Jimmy's world with his drawing ability, which was not that of a newcomer.
This is one of the acclaimed pieces among the designers on the team.

NekoshowguN

Nice to meet you all.
I'm NekoshowguN, like a cicada that has finally come out of the ground at this time of year.

When I was asked to do this kind of work for the first time, I was so nervous that I thought my heart would burst out of my buttocks.
...I mean, it did come out. Two or three times.
And Jimmy's music was so rough that I kept listening to "joker" over and over again and thinking, "I can't do this!". I was so determined to drop the project that I kept thinking about all the impossible things that could happen, like what if I didn't finish by the end of the month, what if this was a dream, what if I woke up in a snowy country, and so on. So I think I'm rather satisfied with the result. (That's why?)
No, no, I really put my heart and soul into it.
The image of the song is like the "chilling song" that is sometimes played on TV programs for young children.
Like the Metropolitan Museum of Art.
...I mean, the Metropolitan Museum that I saw as a child was really scary.
I remember seeing it many times because it was so scary.
