Song Production Information
Sota Fujimori
This story is about when I went to my usual synthesizer shop in Shibuya around half a year ago.
There was an Andromeda synthesizer on display which had a lot of knobs, and when I carefully tried playing it, an amazing sound resounded through my stomach.
At that moment, I was selfishly convinced that "this is exactly the synthesizer for me", and I became charmed by it. I left the shop once after looking at my wallet, but I couldn't resist it, so I immediately returned and impulsively bought it. I was so happy, that I made a song using this device, which resulted in ANDROMEDA.
As a result, all the timbres except the hi-hat were created using this Andromeda.
So it's mostly an Andromeda demo song (laughs).
This movie is also quite cybernetic and cool, right? That's why, by all means, please loudly listen to it and let the Andromeda sound resound through your stomach♪

Barely escape, dive into the enemy security area, and search for the CORE.
Will you be able to find the CORE?
I carefully created this video with a tension feeling.
