I thought it'd be lonely if [[GRADIUS -FULL SPEED-|GRADIUS]] was the only game music included here, so I included a medley of three songs from "A-JAX", whose music I really love.<br> | |||
Anyways, it was quite difficult to choose since they are all nice songs, but I decided them on a balance of familiarity, favoritism, and IIDX appropriateness.<br> | |||
It was quite difficult once I started creating this song, and I had to make several adjustments to the tone and balance until this unique texture and impact appeared, and it was finally completed.<br> | |||
By the way, this song uses FM sound sources for the bass and melody. | |||
== Video Production Information == | |||

"A-JAX" is a shooting game released by our company in 1987. Did you all know this?<br> | |||
When some of our staff, including VJ GYO, casually asked "what's A-JAX~?", the super shooting gamer experts, TOMY.T and [[Yoshiaki Heshiki|HES]], scolded us.<br> | |||
The only port from the arcade was for the SHARP PC "X68000" in 1989, so it can't be helped that I didn't know this (would they scold me again if I say this?). | |||
2007. Earth. Brainwashed soldiers invade neighboring countries armed with strange high-tech weapons, since the alien invasion of a certain major country.<br> | |||
From the Earth's cries for survival, and a glimmer of hope, the United Nation's special forces unit, codenamed "A-JAX", fights back. | |||
As soon as I heard this song, I imagined myself riding on a supersonic-speed helicopter or jet fighter with them, with an extremely wonderful and addicting sound which makes me think, "I have that feeling!".<br> | |||
Consider the notes as enemies, and let's fight them with a shooting game feeling! | |||
