Video Production Information
NEW-3
When I first listened to the intro, I had the image of a certain F1 theme song, but after listening to it, the timbres felt '80s robot anime-styled, so I created it with the image of a robot anime opening.
It probably feels a bit unrefined because I created it with too much groove and geek power, but it's a video that's very memorable for me.
I'm sincerely thankful to the KM team for preparing this stage. Thank you very much.
