Song Production Information
Hirofumi Sasaki
I think it turned out to be a rather light-hearted and cheerful song.
I remember that I was under a lot of pressure to write an encore song at that time,
and I was more concerned with the game part (charts) than with completing the song.
This may be the reason why each song has a certain unique tension,
but this time Asaki-kun took charge of the sequence, and I was able to write the song with a refreshed feeling.
Furthermore, I have the impression that the song has become very carefree, but I guess that's... not true.
Well then.

Hi, this is mito.
I was in charge of porting the movie to the game console.
Mr. Sasaki is back~
with "Timepiece phase II"!
But why the "II"?
Putting it aside,
have you guys played it yet?
I don't think it's easy to play it because it's "Premium", after all.
(I can't play it!)
Please do your best and challenge yourself.

"How can the presence of this song
satisy the players who have been
excited about Gitadora?"
With this in mind, this was the "one result" that all the staff thought about.
We were also lucky to have
the same designer as The Least 100 Sec create the clip
to coincide with Sasaki's return.
The conditions for appearance were quite severe,
but as a staff member, we would be happy if you
could enjoy the fun and excitement of the event.
To be honest, it was a cold sweat to tinker with the long-running encore system.
(It's not just a cold sweat to get this song out for bug check. ^^;)
