Song Production Information
RAM
I think this is currently my most melodious song.
The sense of tempo and rhythm were hard than before, but I think that the high quality synth riffs are rather melodious and musical.
I don't make many songs like this, but trance has been growing recently, so I tried to create something similar out of interest.
The breakbeats section in the middle of then song feels abnormal from my usual style. (laughs)
Video Production Information
Yasi
This is a completely different story, but everyone on the arcade team were invited to the launch of beatmania (5-key) the other day.
Thank you for giving me this opportunity. And good job once again.
However, it's been five years since I was involved in the home version.
I personally enjoyed every song and video as a user, rather than as a producer.
Well, this movie is fairly simple and easy to understand for me, and was also intended to be a homage of the minimal world of such early beatmania, but it was difficult to achieve in the end, as an excuse for myself with no skills, time, and expression.
