Trivia

  • The capitalized letters in "Digital MinD" (D.M.D.) reference an old band that TaQ and TAKA used to be in. The mix name is another set of references: "T" is for TAKA, "A" is the initial of a girl TaQ and Taka did some music with, and "Libra" is a reference to the Osamu Kubota song Libra Negra.

Song Production Information

dj TAKA

Speaking of techno in IIDX 2nd style, this person is TaQ.
As a side note, he has nothing to do with someone from a certain famous unit.
Well, this track is a bit flashy for a MINIMAL piece, but I had it completed like this to allow the gameplay to be more interesting.
By the way, during production, we called the series of scratches in the second half of the song "wayo".
"The wayo are kind of small", huh.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Contrary to the title of the song, I made a kind of analog-like video.
I started this movie with a vague image, and searched the department trash cans for junk, thinking I could play around with it and take interesting photos as material...
I felt like people kept thinking, "what's he playing around with?", but I basically have memories of finding unexpected treasure in my own world like "botamochi on a shelf".
At the editing level, since it's minimal techno, I tried to create a video with repetitive elements which would induce a trance sensation.
