The impression I got from this song was a nobility enhanced by the strings, classical timbre and dance music interwoven with a far-off divinity. | |||
In order to express that impression, I compared the player to ENDYMION who is a descendant of the gods, and made a jacket with the motif of a "forbidden encounter" with the moon goddess, Selene. | |||
Additionally, I thought it necessary to go in a heretofore unseen direction unique to this song, so that the player can experience the far-off divinity and high ranking of this song even more. | |||
So I colored the song selection screen a deep red, hid the real jacket, and made production decisions just for this song. | |||
The red sky, a sky that cannot be normal, will make the player feel a sense of impending doom. In addition, I thought about the direction of covering the jacket in a black exterior, in order to achieve the virtuous feeling of covering the gods with artifacts and the goddess emerging from the broken visage so that one feels the far-off atmosphere of eeriness. | |||
The reason for the production decision of Rinon shooting such a thick beam is that the player fighting all their Heat Power can pile their feelings up onto her figure and become immersed in the game. | |||
By all means, reach this song with your own feet and relish the atmosphere that the "forbidden encounter" brings. | |||

A huge characteristic of this song is its disconnected rhythm, seeming as though patched together, wrapped up with classical elements.<br> | |||
And thus it feels like a demonic shift. | |||
With the thought that you will be able to enjoy a memorable experience by visually matching up the characteristics of this type of song, I created a movie with the motif of a shifting sky. | |||
The red, burning sky where Endymion falls to earth.<br> | |||
The sky where the winds blow violently to the ultra-high-speed A melody.<br> | |||
The sky that has lost its distorted dimension from the extreme BPM change.<br> | |||
The sky that reassembles itself to the rhythm of the characteristic timbre.<br> | |||
The sky where violently roaring thunder comes and goes to the bass.<br> | |||
The gold sky that blesses the player who finally reached the home stretch.<br> | |||
And lastly, the sky that has regained its blue peacefulness.<br> | |||
Which sky remained in your memory?<br> | |||
As a matter of fact, this production continues to the results screen.<br> | |||
Defeat ENDYMION and reclaim the blue sky! | |||
