Song Production Information
SUPER STAR -MITSURU-
"THANK YOU FOR PLAYING."
SUPER STAR -MITSURU- here again, composing another "Only One..." song for beatmania IIDX. Did you enjoy it?
This song was originally meant to be for the staff roll at the end of the song.
This was the only song I made that specifies where it would be played.
When you reach the end of the song, think about what this song means to you.
Video Production Information
XTC
It was decided at a meeting that I would be doing the ending animation for the song.
The movie is pretty straightforward, with the scrolling of the composers, staffers and developers for the game coming around. If you watch carefully, however, SUPER STAR -MITSURU-'s name will be prominently highlighted.
The director wanted to do that to acknowledge his making of the song.
This is definitely a good rousing song for EMPRESS, and definitely one for a staff roll!!!
