FIFTH GIG
The theme that appears at the beginning and end of this song is based on the opening song I made for GUITARFREAKS 5thMIX a long time ago.
Truth is, I kinda wanted to release this music to play in the game for a long time, so I'm very glad that I was able to make it into reality this time.
And what's more, this time, as a new experiment, there are different versions for this song featuring drums, guitar, and bass, so you can enjoy a complete solo performance.
Since there is a rather long drum solo here, I thought it would be best to have a real drummer play that part, so I asked an old musician friend, drummer Takashi Yasuda, to perform it.
Dokadoka!! Doka-tan! Tokaaaa~~n! Da Da Da Dan!! Ja~~an!!
Oh~~! Live drums feel so~ go~~od!
The sound is so lively~~! The power is different~~! It's so cool~~!
I couldn't help but smile in the recording studio.
By the way, if you play this song in session, another version of this song, FIFTH GIG TYPE II, will appear instead.
Let's play it, everyone!
