Hey, it's Des-ROW.
This song's for 5-key beatmania, so I made something with a little bit of grind to it, heh.
Kevin Vecchione, who previously sung for us in a non-beatmania game, yells for us in this song, heehee.
To me, the song is cool and explodes with that Des-ROW sound.
Some of you might say it doesn't fit in with beatmania, though?! Haha huh?
But hey, since this type of song's in the game, why not try it out? Heh...
Video Production Information
Chihiro
The animations have some rather unusual effects, like overlapping patterns, or identical colors.
I put them together with aqua + orange (rusting), my favorite.
It goes from looking like a tattoo and spiraling like a snake to dropping the saturation for a blackout!
It's like you're seeing time pass by and fade away in fast-forward.
I like seeing the colors flourish, but I also like seeing them fade away.
And above all else, the voices are wonderful!!
Staff Comments
MORO
This song is from the well-known (?) Des-ROW.
Personally, I like it!
Hearing this song when you're tired from work will perk you up, you know?
When you play it, you'll probably start shouting along with the vocals without thinking.
