==Song Production Information==

=== [[Tomoyuki Uchida|ucchie]] ===
A big classic ParaPara song that doesn't need an explanation, this is NIGHT OF FIRE~! The gameplay is filled with delicious button sounds, which felt crispy and quick.
 
The main phrase of the synth that appears in the intro of this kind of Euro isn't something a human can play by hand in the first place. The ability to play it on a seven key keyboard is what makes IIDX interesting. If you're able to play this song on an actual keyboard, you're a superhuman.
 
== Video Production Information ==
=== VJ GYO ===
A tie-up with that song you've heard before materialized in IIDX! I don't think there's a song I've heard in countless situations as much as this song.<br>
For that reason, instead of making a live-action movie containing ParaPara dancing, I planned for an image unique to IIDX.<br>
So I said, "by all means!". Please check out the second movie series of [[Mika]] and [[Yuri]]'s car battle.
 
Actually, SUPER EUROBEAT and cars seem to be a perfect match, with official albums of racing series also released, based on sports and touring cars like what Mika and company drove in.<br>
In addition, the car repair shop somehow suits it well.


Untranslated.
I was very excited during the planning stage to mix in shots, other than the car battle scenes, and make it look like a day in the life of a car owner... but in the end, the schedule was so tight that I only could make the car battle scenes.<br>
Then, I was so excited about adding the various effects to the editing and tune it up, but I was behind schedule, so I also gave up on that...


==Video Production Information==
It was my only regret after I finished making the movie, but... right before the production was up, I was blessed with the hellish opportunity for a "VJ YUZ remix"!<br>
The movie was flowing with new charm and reborn as speedy & stylish that I could never have created on my own!<br>
It was a very very busy time... even after sunset... but he gladly took over and completed everything on time with great focus.<br>
While [[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] and I were admiring the completed movie, VJ YUZ smiled and ran away without paying the taxi fare.


Untranslated.
When I look back, it's a movie which fills me with gratitude.<br>
<small>(Oh yeah, let's go see "○○ld ○○eed" next time! Of course I'll give him a ticket as a present!)</small>
