Song Production Information
Yasuhiro Abe
This is a upbeat, progressive-rock number.
It might take some time and practice to master the track, but it's definitely worth it.
It's the challenge! In the composition process I really enjoyed framing the melody, which will probably sound strange at first, in a way that will take the listener into their own mysterious and imaginary world.
It is absolutely guaranteed that you will be addicted to it.
In addition, I had Yozo on guitar and Nobu on bass this time.
Both of them have been working closely with me and always give me new inspiration and energy.
Their aggressiveness and enthusiasm during recording helped complete the song exactly as I planned.
In regards to the composition, I used 6 different guitar parts.
I also used several applications such as ProTools, Amp Farm, Guitar Rig, and Sans Amp in order to amplify each feature of the song.
I even joined in and played some guitar parts myself to help achieve it's intensity.
It is an instrumental monster that rapidly develops and will get you dancing for sure.
I hope all of you enjoy this hyped-up sound in DDR!
