This time my partner is wac.<br> | |||
wac, a fellow musician I talk about ideas with.<br> | |||
And wac, my occasional rival. | |||
On the other hand, I've spent time with wac, eating and not eating.<br> | |||
We've walked back together when one of us didn't have enough fare for the train ride.<br> | |||
We've spent nights together, toasting each other with cans of beer and beating our own chests. | |||
It's been two years since we created "Votum stellarum". | |||
Have we looked back much? I wonder if we've just run on ahead this whole time.<br> | |||
No, I don't think we've had the time to look back.<br> | |||
Now that I think of it, we've both come to places we'd never imagined we'd be in. | |||
I wonder why that's the only thing I can think of when I think about this song now? | |||
You could say we're somehow inseparable. It's truly a strange relationship.<br> | |||
I have to say I'm jealous of his talent. Even now, I have deep respect and awe for his music,<br> | |||
Which so superbly blends theory and emotion. | |||
I dare you.<br> | |||
Thank you, my good friend. | |||

==== wac ==== | |||
Hmm, this is a little awkward.<br> | |||
Huh, I won't lose! I'll tear you apart! | |||
You probably know this already, but this song was born of Pop'n 10's "Wish on the Stars" project.<br> | |||
TAKA chose it among all the songs whose composers wished he'd choose.<br> | |||
I've never said this, but the truth is, around then, I was really hoping, "It'd be nice if he chose the idea for our collaboration". I already had my hands full with my own work at that point! | |||
This is kind of an old story, but there was a time when I'd all but given up on making music and entering the world of games.<br> | |||
This world is already too much for me, and music and games are a nice hobby, but maybe I'd better start studying for my civil service examination ... That's all I could think. I even bought the study books.<br> | |||
TAKA was the one who did his best to convince me otherwise. He scolded me and encouraged me on, and even put our desks together in a row, trying to convince me to pursue the same goal with him.<br> | |||
It's thanks to TAKA that I remembered my dream of making music.<br> | |||
Even my becoming a sound director is probably thanks to TAKA, who walked that path before I did. | |||
So, I figured there was no way he could turn down a request to do a song together.<br> | |||
Even my memories of the time around when we did this song are full of him saving me.<br> | |||
The loans that just kept on piling up. Dang. It's hard to think about. | |||
Direction according to unyielding will and proper judgement. Musical production by extensive musicianship and a natural sense of music. And above all a sense of rhythm and tone.<br> | |||
I'm always staring at the guy who has all of these things I don't and almost drooling from jealousy. Dang. It's hard to think about. | |||
We're junior and senior, equals, contractor and applicant, rivals in music and equipment, and office mates all rolled into one.<br> | |||
And, as usual, we're great friends. | |||
Please play this song in a mood overflowing with that sort of friendship power.<br> | |||
We're iconoclasm. Tear down your icons. Smash, bang. | |||

Since this is a pop'n crossover song, I was able to help out as best I could with my little ability.<br> | |||
A legendary collaboration by the sound directors of both series! Wouldn't it be great if you could play it on both machines at the same time? | |||
This song came out of the "Wish on a Star!" project for pop'n 10.<br> | |||
Without the players' wishes, this song would never have come to this world, but here it is, thanks to the strange chances and probabilities of life. | |||
Since I ended up being in charge of this song due to various circumstances, I wanted to do the type of movie only I could do; I wanted to do a video to kind of bridge the two series.<br> | |||
I wanted to mix the good parts and particular natures of pop'n and IIDX.<br> | |||
Of course, I wanted to do something that would fit well with the two composers' natures.<br> | |||
Since I'm greedy, I wanted to emphasize the best parts of both games.<br> | |||
But, I figured if I emphasized the pop'n part too much, it would step on the cool IIDX image too much ... <br> | |||
So I worried about things like that and eventually settled into something like this.<br> | |||
It fits in with the new songs from HAPPY SKY,<br> | |||
But it's nice that there's something here to make the pop'n players smile, too. | |||
<br> | |||
So, it's not quite as grandiose as Genesis,<br> | |||
But this is my own little anthem.<br> | |||
Thanks also to all the IIDX designers who generously gave me such good materials to work with.<br> | |||
It was fun to have a little VJ REMIX sort of movie come out of this project.<br> | |||
Thank you very much! | |||
