== Song Production Information == | |||
=== Scorpion === | |||
With this style, I was put in charge to make a boss song consistent with the theme.<br> | |||
I have heard some complaints that the previous boss songs did not feel like a boss song.<br> | |||
In the end, I hope that you are satisfied with this.<br> | |||
Even after making IIDX songs, being responsible for making a boss song places unique pressure upon you.<br> | |||
In most cases, the people listening and playing the songs are probably familiar with the composer's music and style.<br> | |||
So, in this case, I tried to create a song about soldiers (which I also am) carrying a sense of sadness within themselves.<br> | |||
It is a strong song. (Well, I think soldiers carry heavy feelings with them, which can also be said about this song)<br> | |||
= | == Video Production Information == | ||
=== VJ GYO === | |||
SASORIN:<br> | |||
Length: 13 meters<br> | |||
Weight: Up to 8 tons<br> | |||
Location: Kalahari Desert<br> | |||
Notes:<br> | |||
# Its tail contains several steel needles, which can destroy anything in its path. | |||
# Its shell is a thousand times stronger than diamond. | |||
# It feeds on oil and natural gas. | |||
# It always has its eyes open and has fast reflexes. | |||
From the artist's name, I came up with a scorpion image.<br> | |||
The image I first came up with when hearing the song was that of a spicy Asian dish, mixed with an unbearable sense of tension.<br> | |||
I was told that the image looked too fake, almost cartoonish, but I stood firm by it.<br> | |||
If you cannot defeat this boss early enough, it will deplete your natural resources.<br> | |||
"You are equipped with the latest weaponry, including twin air cannons, automatic aiming receptacles, smart bombs, and high speed jets"<br> | |||
"You are now onboard, ready to limit the damage of the scorpion and if possible, defeat it."<br> | |||
"Unfortunately, because of this sudden emergency, we could not provide you emergency training."<br> | |||
"The government trusts you to win, since you are a professional of the IIDX Combat operating system."<br> | |||
"Good Luck!" | |||
== Difficulty & Notecounts == | |||
beatmania IIDX difficulty rated from 1 to 12.<br> | |||
