This song is filled with thoughts about my wrecked car, the Gloria Gran Turismo Y31.
I was saying to everyone to be careful in not cutting too much suspension in my car. It can be placed in a multi-story carpark, so protect the ride height, and slowly race the rose pear-colored roaring breakthrough!
I'm now also an aristocrat with an 18-inch wheel flusher and 60 loans. Do you know what this next song is?
Recently, I heard from my friend that many people seem to think I'm nagureo but, tch, tch, that's wrong.
I'm a street racer, and he's a dogsbody.
I don't know music, so I'll let him input images into a computer.
※ Y31... Nissan's luxury car, the Cedric Gloria, was manufactured in 1987, and targeted middle-aged people. With a sporty tune, attached front and rear spoilers, and a manual shift model, it was a massive hit.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
If you're supposed to get it, you probably already do.
The next song will be Y31.
tiger, the development from your announcement around a year ago has arrived!
This song, Y31, is the definitive culmination of every R series song released in IIDX, such as R3, R5, and R10K!
Anyways, it's very cool and groovy, but listening and following the development... Isn't there one word to summarize this?
When I finished listening and reflected on it,
1) I couldn't remember what happened
2) Many fragmented memories appeared in my mind
3) But, I couldn't arrange them in chronological order
4) Was the development thought out as expected?
5) But, when I heard it at that point, I didn't have any doubts, doesn't it feel like waking up from a dream?
I thought about initially recreating these feelings.
If I calm myself down a bit more and listen to it again (unlike dreams, you can repeat the same experiences),
1) There are clear and different conditions, with each having some extreme images
2) Those which have intricate development like opposing forms
3) But, circulates throughout the entire video
I then thought about wanting to express these thoughts.
So, with this in mind,
1) The state of the entire universe, time and space (→various live-action videos)
2) Concepts and symbols represented in sections (→Tora Yamato incarnated as five people)
... I began production of this movie under the worldview in the vein which I've seen and heard somewhere.
However, such story disappeared while making it, so I only made it with the groove in the end.
Because I overthought it in the beginning, I was repeatedly paralyzed after creating one material, and memories remain of production being the most mentally exhausting.
But, it doesn't meet tiger's thoughts (read the above comment) as usual~ (tears).
Bonus
I received a question from the Q&A corner, so I'll write a bit about Tora Yamato (someone called him the roaring angel), the tiger incarnated as five people.
| Green Tora Yamato | Green Tree | Jade Tiger |
| Red Tora Yamato | Red Fire | Carnelian Tiger |
| Yellow Tora Yamato | Yellow Gold | Gold Tiger |
| Black Tora Yamato | Dark Soil | Obsidian Tiger |
| Blue Tora Yamato | Blue Water | Sapphire Tiger |
I gave them appropriate names etc., but I wanted a single typo joke.
As a side note, it's a Tora Yamato pose, but it's not appropriate, so I'm doing "3" and "1" with both hands... But none of the staff noticed.
P.S.
Thank you very much to those who pointed out that the stroke order of "wa (和)" was "written in semi-cursive script".
I published the email on the Q&A page (appended to VOL.1's answer column).
