== Song Production Information ==
=== beatmania IIDX 5th style -new songs collection- ===
==== "Moto kuguri Johnny" Togo ====
This song is based on "more deep" that I wrote for the now nostalgic "beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX" (released in 1999), rearranged it with a genre called 2STEP.
I didn't have enough time during the production of GOTTAMIX, so I quickly made it with basic equipment, and it stuck in my mind for a long time. (It doesn't means it's good if you have time to make it with good equipment, however...)<br>
So for that reason, I tried to create it with the thought of "let's settle it", but after all, "It's selfish of me ~smug~" (... You've heard that somewhere, right?).<br>
Also, did I promise club/techno-styled rhythms for a while? I was fed up with "four-beat kicks", so let's go with a 2STEP without "four-beat kicks"!... So I said.
Now, when I just started production, I reunited with the guitarist named Kenji Suzuki after 10 years for another project.<br>
He was from the same music school as me, and has been a catchy guitar player since then. He is currently very active in the major scene, recording and touring for artists such as Hikaru Utada and Misia!<br>
Well, when I saw him play amazingly up close, I suddenly felt weak and immediately told him, "Oh, I'm not going to play guitar by myself this time".<br>
(I poorly played the guitar in [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]]'s [[SOMETHING WONDERFUL|song]]... Kaku-chan, I'm sorry [laughs])<br>
So listen & press to his nice guitar play.


* more deep (ver.2.1) is a remix of ''more deep'', from ''beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX''.
Of course, the cute honey(?) diva "Sana" reprises and doubles the charm as the vocalist!<br>
* A long version of more deep (ver.2.1), titled ''more deep (ver. 1.3.7)'', appears on Sana's [[Sanative]] album.
Oh..., and the sound director of pop'n, "Haya-P", also participates in it.


== Trivia ==
I want to make a long version of this song someday for music CDs etc., so by all means, please listen to it again.


* The scratch sample which opens more deep (ver.2.1) is also heard on the [[AC 8th style|beatmania IIDX 8th style]] title screen.
=== beatmania IIDX 7th style ===
* Misia, the guitarist of more deep (ver.2.1), has also worked with Hikaru Utada, as well as [[Kenji Suzuki]].
==== Togo ====
* [[Yoichi Hayashi]] provides background vocals in this song, his only appearance in the beatmania IIDX series.
I tried to include an old A.O.R.-styled mature(?) melody in a 2STEP-styled beat.<br>
* more deep (ver.2.1) received a Double BEGINNER chart in [[CS DDR ULTRAMIX2|DanceDanceRevolution ULTRAMIX2]].
It's always a headache finding the right balance between the contradictory "club/dance progression" VS. "song progression with a story".<br>
It was a difficult delivery, but I somehow gave birth safely!<br>
The guitar by Suzuken (Kenji Suzuki), who is also active as a guitarist for artists such as Misia and Hikaru Utada, is very effective.


== Song Production Information ==
==== Sana ====
"more deep" is perhaps the most mature song I've sung.<br>
Two people in love burn their hearts out, then turn into stardust and disappear in the night sky.<br>
At that time, the power of love released was so deep, that Sana had selfish delusions of it as not deeper, but "more deep".<br>
Have you ever felt so passionate, that you think it's alright to fall to the depths?

== Video Production Information ==

=== beatmania IIDX 5th style -new songs collection- ===
==== Yasi ====
The original song was two years ago... time flies by so fast.<br>
At that time, I never thought these types of movies would be included in the home version of beatmania, from the pixel art movies in the 5-key beatmania.... This is when the PS2 was still a rumor.
Well, finally this time, I mean, I finally said... we have released it. The true face of Sana, the BEMANI diva.<br>
In my previous work, "SANA MOLLETE NE ENTE", some effects were overexposed for her to remain anonymous, but it received a poor reception for being "scary" and "irritating", so I tried to keep it as straightforward as possible this time.
The location was in a rented studio in Tokyo.<br>
I wanted to capture as much footage of Togo-chef's hands as possible, so I asked him to let me come along to the recording session.<br>
For some reason, Sana is wearing a stage costume, although she was supposed to be in "plain" clothes.
=== beatmania IIDX 7th style ===
==== Yasi ====
It feels like a rather long time ago now that I've created this video, and my memories of making it are fading, but...
Anyways, I didn't have materials or time to make the movie, so I forced myself to go to the studio and film the song's recording.<br>
There was something like a rough "aim" to show the behind-the-scenes atmosphere of an artist, but in the end, it became a movie with no twist whatsoever, so I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved and apologize.
Come to think of it, Sana's [[papayapa bossa|vocal debut]] in the [[CS bm|first PS version of beatmania]] in 1998 started half-jokingly, but I hope it will remain as a good memory for Togo and Sana, the driving forces behind it.
== Difficulty & Notecounts ==
beatmania IIDX difficulty rated from 1 to 7+ in 5th through 7th style.<br>
DanceDanceRevolution difficulty rated from 1 to 10 from DDRMAX2 to SuperNOVA2.
