Song Production Information
DJ TECHNORCH
"Aren't you scared of KAMAITACHI!?"
Nice to meet you all, every IIDX fans! I am Technorch, who you should spell as DJ TECHNORCH.
Is "KAMAITACHI" one of the Four Fearsome Beasts named "Qiongqi"? A dust devil named "Kamaitachi"? Or is it "long swords in a stance"?
What scares humans the most are frightful things they cannot see, hear, or touch.
KAMAITACHI is something that people denied every time a scientific opinion is presented of it, and thus only a few people had experienced it.
And even if people did experienced it, they never shed blood, leaving only in fear.
When I hear such stories, I start to wonder if KAMAITACHI is a monster of three people, reminding us of the fear of human beings...?
I think of them like that.
The genre for this song is FREEFORM HARDCORE,
And the rave stab that rings out is a vacuum blade named KAMAITACHI.
At IIDX, you can see, hear, and touch KAMAITACHI, which should only convey nothing but fear fear to us.
Now we can conquer our fears in the arcade.
Ahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha!
Video Production Information
MAYA
The rainy season has brighten up, under the midsummer's scorching sun... It was the day I went to Shibuya for a photo shoot.
I stared at the people crossing the street at the edge of Shibuya's Scramble Crossing while sizzling and burning up...I immediately bought a hat!.
There was a young gentleman who noticed my camera and casually posed in front of me as I crossed the pedestrian crossing...Thank you very much!
When I was walking down a narrow alleyway filming, the ladies were very responsive to my camera... I wonder if they would have appeared if I had asked them to...
I was sitting on the stairs of the 109 store and a strange old man came to sit beside me... 10 minutes of silence ensured... It was scary.
The noise of rough rain pouring are overlapping,
the crossing people were overcrowding,
the crosswalks were noisy,
the whole street turned into a ruckus,
everyone were bursting in laughter...
Oh, my ears are ringing and I'm starting to feel dizzy...
Uuuuu...... UUUUUUH!!!
....huh... I wanted to film something that would make your head boil with information. And Shibuya lived up to my expectations.
After I finished shooting the video, I was completely exhausted and tongue-tied,
but the ice cream HES gave me was really good. Thanks for the meal!
