Song Production Information
TAKA
Along with Estella, this song exactly symbolizes the game's current direction.
This song, composed using a big JAZZ band, conveys a cheerful feeling like laughing and performing.
You can imagine a scene when each performer performs their solo part, they stand and perform their groovy part, bow and sit down when finished, then the next person stands.
I've previously introduced good-cool as a house tracker, but there seems to be a period when he also specialized in jazz, and is a super composer who covers all music genres, from rock to jazz, and R&B to J-POP.

From the gameplay, you can feel an actual performance as your body starts swinging and you become immersed in it... This is the best song for that.
I remember initially feeling uncomfortable while partially listening, but when I played it, I couldn't stop smiling at the "new sense of play" which was neither near or far.
In that manner, when I finished playing the groovy song and turned around with a big smile, KANI, ucchie, and TAKA, who were watching over me, responded with a big smile.
