Song Production Information
Mr.T
A week before my deadline, I hadn't even decided what kind of song I wanted to write. I needed to make it quickly... Under such pressure, I overslept in the morning of my final decision.
There was no point in rushing now. I was taking the train, which was much slower than usual, at a leisurely pace.
Then a strange melody suddenly came to mind.
I repeatedly sang it in my head, and wrote it on the back of a receipt so I wouldn't forget it.
And then electrosho--ck! Electroshock~, what's that~? I guess I can't just put down a weird word like that, huh? But you know, even I'm not sure exactly what it is. Anyways, I slept in late and rode the electric-powered train in, and an electronic song appeared out of nowhere like a shock! So that's electroshock! Isn't that what it is?
So what about ZERO-ONE? Well, it has a bleeping digital feel to it. It's appropriate. It seems appropriate. Is that okay?.... Mustache man? I don't understand its meaning!!
Ahaha, well, Mr.T seems very satisfied with it, so I'm sure it's fine.

A week before my deadline, I didn't even know what kind of song I'd be doing work for. I needed to hear it quickly... During days of such pressure, I'd always overslept. I'm sorry for being weak in the morning. I'll be careful.
There was no point in rushing now. I was taking the train, which was much slower than usual, at a leisurely pace.
Then a chonmage image suddenly came to mind.
It repeatedly zoomed through my head, and I drew it on the back of some advertisements that were scattered around so I wouldn't forget it.
And then electrosho--ck! Electroshock~, what's that~? I guess I can't just put down a weird word like that, huh? I don't know English, so anyways, I slept in late and then was staring at the electrons on my CRT monitor, and an electronic image appeared out of nowhere like a shock! So that's electroshock! Isn't that what it is?
So what about the English spelling? Well, that's the animation genre title. The L and R are wrong. It's like confusing left and right....
The meaning is different.... I already updated it. Really? That's what happened. It's okay to make up a reason. It's okay to make coined words, like not understanding it on the previous homepage. Proceed before someone can poke fun of it. It's appropriate. It seems appropriate. Is that okay?....
What about me?
I don't get its meaning!! (laughs)
(The cry of Mr.T's heart)
Ahaha, well, Mr.T seems very angry with it, so I'm sure it's fine. I'm sorry.
