 == Song Production Information ==
 === good-cool ===
-When I decided to make a song for 6th style, there was something I just had to try - a collaboration with all the VJs. When I made the suggestion at a staff meeting, everyone was enthusiastic about it, and so we were able to realize this idea.
+When I decided to participate in 6th Style, I definitely wanted to try something. A collaboration with the VJs. When I hesitantly suggested this during a staff meeting, everyone willingly accepted it, and we were able to make this happen.
-"It doesn't matter how, create your material any way you like!"
+"It doesn't matter how you do it, please create the video however you'd like~"
-And with that, I began to write a song ... The images the VJs came up with had no preconceptions to them, it was very stimulating. I composed a song that divided itself into several genres, in order to allow a sort of recital contest among shiro, HES, GOLI, and VJ GYO.
+So, I asked them to make the movie first, and then I added the song to it. Their completed videos without preconceptions were very stimulating.
-shiro was Techno, HES was Trance, GOLI had Drum'n'bass, and VJ GYO got 2Step. Again, I wanted to do something without seeing the movie, so I scattered sound effects everywhere that suited the theme of different parts coming together. Get it? The title of this song is a tribute to our beloved four-person "VJ army". This song becomes quite heated during the course of game play, as well, so I hope you all enjoy it.
+To ignite a competition between shiro, HES, GOLI, and VJ GYO, I composed a song with genres divided from each image.
+shiro is Techno, HES is Trance, GOLI is Drum'n Bass, and VJ GYO is 2Step. Also, I wanted to make something unique with the completed movie, so I scattered sound effects everywhere to fit the visual movements. Did you notice them?<br>
+This song's title is named with respect to the beloved 4 member VJ ARMY. The gameplay is quite hot too, so by all means, everyone please enjoy it.
 == Video Production Information ==
 === shiro ===
-The others seem to have drawn up their materials while listening to some sort of background music, but mine were all drawn during periods of long silence. good-cool, your music fit my vision perfectly. Thank you.
+Although the other VJs seemed to create their videos using some songs as reference BGM, I created mine in silence while looking forward to what kind of song he'd make. good-cool, it's perfect, thank you very much.
 === HES ===
-Since we were allowed to do whatever we want, I was able to finish without ever really worrying about what I was doing, but when it came time to put the four pieces together, everyone seemed to worry ... "Is this okay?" *g*
+Since we were able to make it however we'd like, I easily completed it without particularly worrying about the task, but at the moment the 4 individual videos were combined together, I remember everyone worriedly asking "is this alright?" (laughs).
-However, there was no need to worry. The completed version flows together as one piece. Just what I'd expect from good-cool! You're the man!
+However, where was that worry? I was simply moved when I heard the completed version. As expected of good-cool! He's the best~
-To good-cool and the rest of the VJs, great work!
+To good-cool and all the VJs, good job!
-<nowiki>*shwiiiish, clang!*</nowiki>
+Woosh, crash!
 === GOLI ===
-I was really worried about this for a while. Who makes a movie without hearing the song? But when the song was finished and we could listen to it, everyone kept saying "Man, that's really cool!" How can he make a single work that way, out of all these different pieces? But when you see the result, that worry crumbles away, and a new, wondrous feeling is born from your gasps of awe. When I had sound put to my own scene, it felt ... like something altogether new. Like levelling up. I couldn't help but think, "The power of sound is really something," with all of my being.  good-cool, thank you very much.
+Honestly, I was worried. This was the first time this kind of case occurred, as we were somehow requested to conversely create the movie first. As a result, when we listened to the completed song, the staff members simultaneously repeated "it's amazing!". How did he turn this into a song? How, from such a disjointed video collection? That concept collapsed, oh? And a brand-new mysterious impression was born. When he added music to my created scene, I already felt something different. Like a version upgrade. It felt like this. The power of music is huge. And I truly thought this. good-cool, it's a really good job.
 === VJ GYO ===
-This time, I was in charge of the denoument. (If your gauge dropped 'cause you were watching the girl in the movie ... sorry.)
+This time, I was in charge of the ending.<br>
+'''(To those whose gauge really dropped because of the movie, I'm sorry)'''
+VJ GYO "Isn't it better if you start creating the song and later adjust it to a certain extent, so that it flows better with the movie?"
-VJ GYO: "Shouldn't we start working on the video now if we want it to flow together right?"<br>
+good-cool "No, it's more interesting if the 4 members selfishly make it disjointed."
-good-cool: "Nah, it'd be neat if the four of you just worked it out on your own."
-good-cool was always confident as he played mediator to my worries. And so, we were selected (or was it volunteered?) to fight the battle for the Beatmania IIDX specialty "What the hell's this?" style of movie making.
+good-cool was fully confident and didn't care about my concerns at all, and he was the only person who was selected (volunteered?) to challenge the beatmaniaIIDX movie designers' "what's this" complaints.
-A lot of the staff were thinking the same thing. Even dj TAKA, who is familiar with good-cool's ability, would say things like,  "I think this could make three really good songs, but ... " With that comment, our work was cut out for us. According to the rumors on the grapevine, it seems even good-cool was bewildered by this unorthodox approach at first. Still, in the end, I have to say it turned out really well. I think I could have made a movie better suited to lots of sound effects if I'd tried, though. *g*
+As a result, there was a divided reaction of laughing and freezing among the staff members, and even [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]], who's familiar with good-cool's ability, said "I think he'll manage until the third segment...", and this problematic song was completed.<br>
+According to rumors, good-cool seemed to initially be confused by this unusual criticism.<br>
+So, finally... as expected, that's all I can say.<br>
+It'd be great if I could've created the movie so that more sound effects were included, so I'm completely annoyed (laughs).
