Song Production Information

dj TAKA "There's a song I want you to make by all means, but..."
good-cool "What song?"
dj TAKA "That's~ already... Huh?... I forgot..."
good-cool "You forgot?!"
dj TAKA "OK! Well, I got it, here it is~♪"
good-cool "What, come on!"
~A few days later~
dj TAKA "Did you finish the song I was talking about the other day?"
good-cool "... But you didn't say anything?"
dj TAKA "No~, the song I wanted you to make, I remembered it~"
good-cool "Wh, what song?"
dj TAKA "After all, you have to vigorously play the heavy guitar"
good-cool "I see! It's warp house, isn't it~?"
dj TAKA "OK! Well, here it is~♪"
good-cool "What, really!"
These days, people are discovering that I was a former rock guitarist, so this "Buffalo" was born from the directive to provide a rock song featuring heavy guitar sounds.
I made the decision to request for Hideo Suwa's vocals, familiar to those in MELO CORE from pop'n.
good-cool "Suwa, can you sing a song in IIDX this time?"
Hideo Suwa "Oh! You hit a lot of buttons, right~? There are various colors, so there are various buttons~!"
good-cool "That's a different game, but..."
Showing off his high tension style as usual, he demonstrated his rather sharp feelings through his lyrics and singing.
Moreover, during the recording day, he had the idea to change into a T-shirt with a picture of a buffalo in the vocal booth. No~, he wore it. By the way, the notechart arrangement is also wonderfully sharp. Buffalo~~~!!
Video Production Information
YUZ
NEW-3, who was in charge of the previous DXY movie, forcibly gave me a DV camera and requested for late night footage. It's a memorable work when I was seemingly questioned by a police officer during filming (I'm sorry).
It was fun to make analog and noisy video edits, while removing anything appearing as CG.
I personally like it, but what do you think....?
I think GOLI's illustrations are cool.
