Song Production Information

Are you aware of Astor Piazzolla?

The musical instrument featured here is the bandoneon, which is similar to the accordion, but are completely different instruments.
The instrument was originally invented in the 1830's by a German named Heinrich Band, but since it requires extremely high skill to play, nowadays young musicians have completely stopped being taught it. Please try imagining how difficult it is for a ghost wrapped around a typewriter appearing on stage, while writing a book report.

Everyone must still have regrets and irreversible memories, right? When dancing to tango, dance step-by-step. And when the song switches to four-beat jazz at the end, your heart should already become free.

It would be even better if you play it while holding a rose.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

I tried to place the abstract images from the sounds in the video.

While limiting the number of colors and keeping the coordination consistent, I tried to make it so the moving patterns change greatly to follow the song's dramatic progression, but...

If the abstract pattern movie overlaps well with the feelings and thoughts of the viewer, it will be addicting no matter how many times it's seen (addicting to the extent that critical thoughts disappear), which I think demonstrates a powerful effect, but is very difficult to create up to that extent.
Furthermore, it's also an advantage that the video doesn't send the song's interpretation in a single direction, but anyways, it's ultimately difficult to thoroughly pursue things which will be accepted by many people.

And... I became anxious after I finished making everything, so I inserted TRAN just for the video to be a bit catchy...
She was intended to be a navigator for a mysterious world which releases up to five regrets, but...

If there are people who read up to this point and enjoyed listening to the song together, I want to personally present you with a bouquet of roses.
