MPB stands for Música Popular Brasileira, or simply put, it is a hybrid Brazilian popular music style that incorporates elements of other genres of music while incorporating bossa nova techniques.<br> | |||
With the recent boom in Brazilian music, MPB has been attracting a lot of attention, and the name of this genre has become more and more common, with MPB corners being set up in major CD stores. | |||
MPB is my favorite genre and one of my biggest influences, so I have written songs that have that kind of vibe for [[Nova emocao|MAMBO A GO GO]] and [[Brazilian Anthem|Gitadora]].<br> | |||
So, this song is the third in the MPB series! However, the direction is a little different from the previous two works, and Tizona is based on Spanish music.<br> | |||
The guitar is closer to that of Spanish in scale and stroke technique rather than a bossa nova approach.<br> | |||
The keyboard instruments have a 70's fusion feel, with many modulations and complex tension notes in the key signatures. | |||
Conclusion! I knew Brazilian music was good. | |||

Tizona d'El Cid is a sword that belonged to El Cid, the 11th century Spanish hero of La Reconquista.<br> | |||
I imagined that after El Cid's death, the sword passed through the hands of various people and finally ended up in the hands of a beautiful gypsy dancer, and I created this piece by overlaying the scene of La Reconquista and the dancer's graceful movements.<br> | |||
I originally wrote this song for IIDX, but in the vein of "Brazilian Anthem", I reworked the drum pattern and other aspects of the song for Gitadora as well. | |||

The request was for "a picture of a woman holding a sword named El Cid," and this is what it looked like.<br> | |||
It sounded exotic and bewitching, so I tried to make it a sexy gypsy?<br> | |||
Realistic drawing style? American comic style? Ummm... I don't know... Everyone is so cute to see. And so cool too. I can't draw this. <small>(help me!! master [[Goli Matsumoto|goli]]!! master [[Maya Takamura|maya]]!!)</small> | |||
For practice! I put a "TokiM*mo" card next to it and tried to imitate it, but the character looked quite different... The team members laughed at me and put it in a folder with a funny story called "Gallery" (/_;) I tried to practice it very seriously~<br> | |||
Next time I see you, I'll do my best to make the gal a little cuter. | |||
