Song Production Information
Aya
I tried to even things up a bit. The original melody was pretty simple, but I was told that it would be more interesting with respect to its playability if there was more activity, so after a few retakes it became something like the song it is now. I hope you can enjoy the difference between the left and right channels.

Essentially, I've listened to this song ... definitely more than just a few times, but it feels like there's some sort of weird meaning or power to this song. I remade a Buddhist monk from the VJ material I drew in my student days - now presenting, Super Monk-san! He's struggling against something. Obviously I can't pass this song in IIDX. Well, maybe in Light 7! Ain't it great!? There's really no middle ground to this song ... *praying*
