Music Comment
There are numerous genres called "techno", but this is truly the original techno!
Song Production Information
Seiya Murai
To those who immediately got it after listening to it, this song completely follows YMO.
During the song's music comment in the game, "original techno" can be widely seen, and this isn't a lie. I wrote the lyrics and composed it, but during the sound recording, it was created by Hideki Matsutake, a synthesizer programmer who's also called "the fourth YMO member".
Actually, this sound was created by fully using the synthesizers heard in YMO's songs. The sound was created by real hands, so that's why it's "original techno!". Is there any objections (laughs)? In short, I was in charge of singing the English lyrics and vocoder.
The group name is currently V.C.O, and I guess it's a unit consisting of Matsutake and myself? I didn't get Matsutake's approval, so it's just my selfish assumption (laughs). By the way, V.C.O stands for "Voltage Controled Orchestra". It's finally finished!

p-cat
This was the most difficult character to design. I drew over 10 rough sketches (or more doodles?), and I made sound director Seiya Murai decide the final version.
When I emphasized "the beams (good person rays) shoot out from here!!", Seiya said "it's getting more crazy and great".... it's a secret that INUCHIYO and I froze for a bit.
