Song Production Information

dj TAKA

After a discussion with HES, I decided to make a piano ballad after a long time.
In addition to piano and strings, I added in the sounds of a horn and oboe.
It sounds like a lot of instruments to put into a song, but I wanted to have a driving sound to it.

I proceeded to look at the movie of floating images in space, seeing the objects flying through the sky, and thinking that HES was able to convey the feeling of the song well.
Looking at this, I thought, "The sound of Heaven", and thought I had to fire at an enemy aircraft. (laughs)

So, I had planned this song for a while, but I stalled several times due to having some difficulties in composing this song, but I was eventually able to finish. I would add this to my "favorite songs." list.

Denouement movie [EPISODE 4]-blessing-

The goal has been accomplished. Combat mode terminated.
The CORE has been destroyed and peace has returned, but...

With some sadness, I made the movie to show the feeling of the uneasy peace that followed.
