Bulluvegola
The realm thou have wandered into is a lair of the jet-black darkened demon.
No one shall be allowed to return back alive.

This is an instrumental song I made for IIDX. At the time it was released, the artist wasn't listed as 96, so many of you may have not known about who made this song. I made it with the intent of mimicking the music of a RPG boss. I originally wanted to make a song featuring pianos, so I asked a friend to play the piano. We came up with a lot of ideas for each other, so I was able to incorporate a lot of melody that I normally wouldn't have been able to come up with on my own. I also added a piano solo section to the album version.

When I was racking my brains about what kind of animation to make, I thought, "Why not have a boss that is not a character!?"
And from that kind of statement, I started working on it.
From there, I wanted a gothic style scene that look as if it were lost in a mysterious world, and a dignified appearance of it because the person who arrived there was the one to fight...
Those elements were becoming more and more solidified.
The image is a solemn image of stained glass windows in the world of Gothic architecture.
Bulluvegola stands facing each other, shining with various lights.
We hope you can feel the battle of some other world.
