Song Production Information
RINA
RINA here, I was in charge of the vocals and lyrics this time!
I am honored to be part of music for KONAMI's beatmania IIDX!
I wrote the lyrics by a imaging a car drive while listening to the demo song that was completed back then along with its concept.
My first time singing fast BPM songs like this one was difficult, so sometimes I tried to sing roughly, thinking about a way to sing to get a sense of running!
I'm glad if you can listen to the lyrics and singing, and the other details as well.
NAMI
I'm honored to be in charge of music production for the famous BEMANI series!
While aiming for a psychedelic feeling, I also aimed for catchiness.
I was aware of the melodic lines that I wanted to put, how was it?
Please pay attention to the overlapping of the main melody with the chorus.
KAZUYA TAKASE
Since there was an order to make psychedelic trance, I asked NAMI who likes to make psychedelic-like sounds.
Beautiful synths cover the kick and the bass that shake and tremble the heart.
And RINA's speedful vocals put together the world... It ended being a song with that feeling.
