Song Production Information

Hey, this is NISH. This is my second appearance in IIDX.

As the label owner and producer of Trans Hardground Recordings, I have released many hard dance songs.
In 2010, there will be a new song release, so please check it out.

Now I do like to make simple songs, and so I will tell you about the production of this song.
First, I received orders from the producers responsible.

"Your last song Around The Galaxy was very beautiful and melodious."
"At the same time, however, the song, while melodious, seemed to be a bit hard."

Really! I did feel that I made the last song a little harder than it should have been, and that thought lit a fire in me.
MUNETICA then proposed that I should make a song in the genre of energetic trance.
So I then decided to make a song with a spacey feeling to it, with toned vocal samples, and a hard, energetic, melodious sound to it.

Do you think this song sounds harder than the last one?

Also, from the comments I received when I made my notes for my previous song in beatmania, I noticed many of you wrote to be and said "NISH, you don't understand how the game is played!"
I may not know the early days of beatmania, nor know the extensive history of the series, but I feel that the game ignites a fire in my soul.

I had the idea to pack this song with differing amount of broken phrases and put some different ideas that I had into it.
What do you think? Did you like it?

To achieve such a feeling, NISH makes music from his soul.

Video Production Information

The main concept was to show the sound as light.
I attempted to show the cool world of this song and the feeling of speed through the use of motion graphics.
Furthermore, if one is playing IIDX, adding something that would link both the rhythm and the picture together, it would make a perfect trinity.
Enjoy this feeling of togetherness.
