Song Production Information
dj TAKA
I started creating this song with a hard NRG-style, based on HES and GOLI's request.
But, as I layered more sounds on top of each other, it somehow had a melodious atmosphere.
These kind of things actually often happen, so does this feel good?
I'm sorry HES! This time, let's go with a magnificent trance feeling!
So, when I was nearly finished, YOSHITAKA, who sat behind me, said in his usual mischievous voice, "TAKA~, it's groovy, please let me listen to it for a bit~", so I let him listen to it for a bit...
He mischievously answered, "It'd be great if you added vocals to it!".
Vocals are a good idea... but well~, from now... I wonder if I can add them on time.... after thinking about this for a while
Hmm... wait...... I'm sure thunder has the same chord progression as this song.........
..................！
I immediately searched for thunder's vocal track from the enormous data backup, and when I tried combining the key and BPM...
They had a brilliantly matching harmony, and I completed this track after a few hours.
So, since this song was created in a completely different order than the so-called remixing process, it's personally not a remix of "thunder", but a completely different song.
Of course, it doesn't matter how you interpret it, but I wonder if you can notice that it's slightly different to a so-called remix?
Video Production Information

When I received a demo of this song, I silently thought, "well, how can I follow this tension???", but it was dangerous to use live-action footage to take simple scenery, so as a result, I ended up using Flash.
I inserted the disassembled, broken image files and footage on the screen, and alternated them at high-speed. I intended to insert them without flickering, but.... I'm sorry if your eyes hurt.
