Song Production Information

Akira Yamaoka

I think it's very difficult to turn sounds from this kind of genre into games from the BEMANI series (laughs).
Because it doesn't belong in this genre when there are many sounds, and it doesn't belong in this game when there are few sounds. What should I do (laughs). Meanwhile, I reached a compromise and tried to create this track, so how was it? Everyone (laughs).
If you're having fun playing it, I'm fine with it.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Akira Yamaoka's comments like the one above, is often brought up when selecting songs to include in these games.
When GOLI and I were listing popular hit tunes, we liked this song! Let's include it! When I yelled (or let's use a tie-up~!), dj TAKA often said "hmm~" while appearing annoyed, but I've recently started to understand the nuance of how difficult it is to include this~ in the game.
I think everyone has a vague image of the sounds unique to the BEMANI series (or IIDX to be more exact), but instead of this song being naturally created, many parts were planned and crated by the sound staff in charge.
Akira Yamaoka, who participated in the IIDX sound production for the first time in 4th style, is highly skilled at retaining a song's brilliant flavor while adapting it in the game, without adjusting each genre's features and charms, which is simply amazing.
