Song Production Information

Durandal

Hello, I came around again and became a weapon. It's me.
It's a legend. A legend to write how the theory is transmitted.
Are you not stupid? Oh, it's something I said right now.
Excuse me.

An order during the game's production period: "Event song! SPADA-themed!"
I was told of an ancient knight or a brave man that did not like bad guys (?) and cut them down like grasshoppers.
I imagined it and made it. I'm sorry my vocabulary is lacking.
Then I'm a weapon myself.

Regarding the style I recently came up with a new freeform hardcore branch called "Uplifting Freeform",
I tried to do it somehow.
If you are interested, check it out and listen to it. It's cool.

Aside all that, during song production I was like "There's something missing in the song for the chart??? Let's go ahead!!!"
While saying "Is it too difficult?". I put my efforts very carefully in front of the two choruses.
I don't want to imagine the actual chart. It's too much. There is no such thing.

Oh, I don't like how much my weapon hurts. I dislike injections.
Also dentists are not good. Oh yeah I have to repair my teeth.

This is a blade. That's right.
