Song Production Information

BEMANI Sound Team "Nekomata Master"

As I was rummaging through past data while wondering when I last collaborated with TAKA, I found several various nostalgic data, which felt like looking through manga and graduation albums from my student days as I was preparing to move, and composed this song while fighting against time and truly reflecting on the flow of time since Godspeed.

This time, Nekomata is in charge of the composition. I only created the musical parts without adding color to it, and gave it to TAKA. As a result, I think this song's output has that balance. (This is a Nekomata composition, with a solid arrangement and sound of a TAKA song)

Please enjoy this song with an unprecedented atmosphere.

BEMANI Sound Team "dj TAKA"

Although I've previously collaborated with Nekomata many times, this is actually my first collaboration song just with him.
I was surprised by the quite high quality demo when I first received it, and even thought that it'd be better to leave it without doing anything, but I tried to create a sound which fuses jazzy elements with a rhythm game-like base by layering chords and phrases that I interpreted.
I tried to pay attention to the packed feeling of how the bass serves as the bridge between these 2 elements, so I'd be happy if you can listen to that too.
