For this track, I composed a simple piano outline and melody, and Camellia used 10000000000% power to turn it into a gigantic explosion of solar energy.<br> | |||
So, I only did a bit of the work, but kind of like blue food coloring in a ramune-flavored soft drink, it's a huge part of the flavor! (He doesn't know food coloring has no flavor) | |||
=== Camellia === | |||
Good morning, I am the 100000000% guy, Camellia from [[beatnation Records|beatnation RHYZE]].<br> | |||
I'm finally excited to seeing the release of the song, "Summerblue", that I had been working with Toby together! | |||
Toby and I have had several opportunities to create something together before, such as working together on the soundtrack for a game called "Dweller's Empty Path" and the collaboration track (Myths You Forgot) on my own album.<br> | |||
However I never expected to be given the role of creating explosions with solar energy, so | had to start working on it from the scratch, as the point of becoming able to convert light energy into emission.<br> | |||
Thanks to that, I think you can get sunlight out of the IIDX machine, can't you?<br> | |||
It's natural summer sunlight. You should enjoy it for your health. | |||
Well, as you can tell by listening to Summerblue, it has a catchy, pop, playful, but somewhat nostalgic melody that Toby is best at.<br> | |||
Then I have 'BEMANIZED' it into a song that you can have fun playing in IIDX.<br> | |||
Of course I was curious to hear what the song would be like when Toby finished the whole, but since I received the task in my hands, I gave it my all and finished the song!<br> | |||
Somehow, some players may have the impression that I'm filled with evilness and destruction rather than hope and dream (I don't deny it though) (but I have written many happy songs!), but we have created a rather pop and colorful song. I'm positively thrilled for how it would come out in the game!<br> | |||
I tend to write songs that are kinda 'monochrome', so I hope that this time the fusion reaction between the two of us has given the song a fresh blue taste this time! | |||
Please play it for your memories of this summer, and for the place you can always come home, in the middle of your future stories.<br> | |||
Thank you! | |||

"Summerblue" made me think of the sort of "Happy End!" of a fictitious retro game, so I made the movie look like the sort of "And they lived happily ever after" cutscene you'd see during the game's ending. | |||
Those of you have have already played this song will understand that this super emotional sound allows you to re-experience a nostalgic sense of a game you really loved to death that one summer, right!? | |||
I actually lost count of how many times I shed a few tears during the production of the video. | |||
