Song Production Information

Shoichiro Hirata

I'm happy to be able to participate in the IIDX series after a long time!
This time, I tried a slightly different approach than before.
I made this song with a "Distorted+4 On The Floor" theme.
The main guitar sound has a powerfully strong feeling.
Well personally, I guess it belongs in the "exciting" category.
Please play it with a force which shakes your hair.

By the way, "K.I.N.O" in the title refers to Toru Kinoshita, who played the guitar this time.
He's a very cool guitarist.

From the "DistorteD" subtitle, the electric guitar is the instrument which should shine the most.
... So, the first guitar playing animations in IIDX are used in "Crazy K.I.N.O", a song which symbolizes this game!

... However, I thought it'd be difficult~ to turn a crazy cool performance (in a good way) into animations, and when I repeatedly listened to it, several strangely distorted guitars came to my mind.
After going through trial and error, I managed to think of a crazy guitar shape and have an existing IIDX character imitate playing it, and it became a combination between Acty Aries and a guitar shaped like the character "羊".

My endless ambition is to improve my guitar and animation skills, so that I'm able to copy this cool guitar sound by ear, to make other characters imitate playing just like that.
