Hey everyone, good evemornighting! The blazing guitarist ... hmmmmmmm ... I'm sorry, I've been terribly rude. I've challenged several genres in the past, but a genre has come to light that's especially appropriate for IIDX that I haven't touched on. As a result of heated discussion with TAKA, we decided to try drawing out all the pop elements of every genre and making a song out of all of them. The name of this genre is "Pops".


Since this involved drawing out pop material with no regard for direction whatsoever, several strange things happened.
Everyone~, good morneveningello!! The blazing guitarist... cough cough... I'm very sorry.<br>
I've challenged various genres in the past, but I have discovered a genre that's especially appropriate for IIDX that I haven't touched on.<br>
As a result of serious and heated discussions with TAKA, we decided to extract pop elements from every genre and combine them into one song. That's why this genre is "Pops".


a. Backing high hat becomes a house feel, but the kick drum doing the back beat becomes totally inaudible.
Since this song involved extracting pop materials, regardless of what comes next, strange things occurred.


b. The rhythm is kind of like 2step, but I think the tones around the drums are totally different.
a. Backing high hat feels like house for a moment, but the 4-beat kick drum couldn't be heard.


c. The groove is kind of like old-time disco, but it's also made up of lots of particularly digital sounds.
b. The rhythm seems similar to 2Step, but I think the tones around the drums feel somewhat different.


d. The scratches have a particular appeal to them, but no matter how you take it, that's a sign of hip-hop.
c. The groove is kind of like old disco, but it sounds like strange digital sounds.


e. It seems kind of like proto-funk, but if you listen closely the beat is too proper.
d. The scratches have a strong appeal, but there's no sign of hearing Hip Hop.


f. The backing track has a kind of tough feel to it, but for some reason it has attractive female vocals.
e. It roughly seems like funk, but when you listen closely, the beat is strange and just correct.


etc.
f. Even though the backing track has a tough impression, but for some reason it has attractive female vocals.


This is the ambiguous personality of "Somebody Like You". When you listen to the various parts that make up the song, surely you think of them all as pop. The melody itself is a bit odd, but I myself rather like it *g*
And so on.


I figured the vocalist, Mickin', isn't just any regular singer for being able to pull off such an odd song. Even TAKA, who was present at the recording, had a look on his face that practically screamed, "Well, this is an unexpected finish!"
"Somebody Like You" was born with such vague concept.<br>
When you listen to each part that you can hear the song, surely you think of them all as pop.<br>
The melody itself feels somewhat mysterious, but I like it a little (laughs)


Aaaaaaaa, TAKA, what kind of a genre am I going to do next *sweatdrop* Anyway, let's meet up with wac while eating regular (10x) curry in secret!♪
I thought Mickin', who sings such a strange song well without hesitation, wasn't just an ordinary person. Even TAKA, who was present at the recording, had an expression of, "This is an unexpected finish!"
 
Oh<nowiki>~~~</nowiki>, TAKA, what genre should I do from now on? (sweating)<br>
Anyways, let's meet up while eating regular curry (less than 10x) without telling [[Jun Wakita|wac]]!♪
