Song Production Information

TAKA

In the long history of IIDX, I think this is the first song to focus so much on the BASS instrument.
Real jazz and contrabass musicians performed live music, with the bass solo assigned to keysounds during gameplay.
This song makes you want to listen carefully and enjoy to the exquisite interactions between the piano and drums.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

The bass sound that shakes your body is comfortable.
You can feel the gentle but actually powerful "undulations", like they're producing water currents from a pool.

When you play the bass solo slowly and powerfully (press) the keyboard, it sounds nice! It feels like "playing" the real thing!

It feels similar to looking at a rough stone or crystal than a finely crafted jewel. Speaking of precious metals, I wonder if there's oxidized silver?
This is an essential song in the IIDX series.
