+==== "Moto kuguri Johnny" Togo ====
+This song is based on "more deep" that I wrote for the now nostalgic "beatmania APPEND GOTTAMIX" (released in 1999), rearranged it with a genre called 2STEP.
+I didn't have enough time during the production of GOTTAMIX, so I quickly made it with basic equipment, and it stuck in my mind for a long time. (It doesn't means it's good if you have time to make it with good equipment, however...)<br>
+So for that reason, I tried to create it with the thought of "let's settle it", but after all, "It's selfish of me ~smug~" (... You've heard that somewhere, right?).<br>
+Also, did I promise club/techno-styled rhythms for a while? I was fed up with "four-beat kicks", so let's go with a 2STEP without "four-beat kicks"!... So I said.
+Now, when I just started production, I reunited with the guitarist named Kenji Suzuki after 10 years for another project.<br>
+He was from the same music school as me, and has been a catchy guitar player since then. He is currently very active in the major scene, recording and touring for artists such as Hikaru Utada and Misia!<br>
+Well, when I saw him play amazingly up close, I suddenly felt weak and immediately told him, "Oh, I'm not going to play guitar by myself this time".<br>
+(I poorly played the guitar in [[Toshiyuki Kakuta|L.E.D.]]'s [[SOMETHING WONDERFUL|song]]... Kaku-chan, I'm sorry [laughs])<br>
+So listen & press to his nice guitar play.
+Of course, the cute honey(?) diva "Sana" reprises and doubles the charm as the vocalist!<br>
+Oh..., and the sound director of pop'n, "Haya-P", also participates in it.
+I want to make a long version of this song someday for music CDs etc., so by all means, please listen to it again.
+=== beatmania IIDX 7th style ===
+==== Togo ====
+I tried to include an old A.O.R.-styled mature(?) melody in a 2STEP-styled beat.<br>
+It's always a headache finding the right balance between the contradictory "club/dance progression" VS. "song progression with a story".<br>
+It was a difficult delivery, but I somehow gave birth safely!<br>
+The guitar by Suzuken (Kenji Suzuki), who is also active as a guitarist for artists such as Misia and Hikaru Utada, is very effective.
+==== Sana ====
+"more deep" is perhaps the most mature song I've sung.<br>
+Two people in love burn their hearts out, then turn into stardust and disappear in the night sky.<br>
+At that time, the power of love released was so deep, that Sana had selfish delusions of it as not deeper, but "more deep".<br>
+Have you ever felt so passionate, that you think it's alright to fall to the depths?

+==== Yasi ====
+The original song was two years ago... time flies by so fast.<br>
+At that time, I never thought these types of movies would be included in the home version of beatmania, from the pixel art movies in the 5-key beatmania.... This is when the PS2 was still a rumor.
+Well, finally this time, I mean, I finally said... we have released it. The true face of Sana, the BEMANI diva.<br>
+In my previous work, "SANA MOLLETE NE ENTE", some effects were overexposed for her to remain anonymous, but it received a poor reception for being "scary" and "irritating", so I tried to keep it as straightforward as possible this time.
+The location was in a rented studio in Tokyo.<br>
+I wanted to capture as much footage of Togo-chef's hands as possible, so I asked him to let me come along to the recording session.<br>
+For some reason, Sana is wearing a stage costume, although she was supposed to be in "plain" clothes.

+==== Yasi ====
+It feels like a rather long time ago now that I've created this video, and my memories of making it are fading, but...
+Anyways, I didn't have materials or time to make the movie, so I forced myself to go to the studio and film the song's recording.<br>
+There was something like a rough "aim" to show the behind-the-scenes atmosphere of an artist, but in the end, it became a movie with no twist whatsoever, so I want to take this opportunity to thank everyone involved and apologize.
+Come to think of it, Sana's [[papayapa bossa|vocal debut]] in the [[CS bm|first PS version of beatmania]] in 1998 started half-jokingly, but I hope it will remain as a good memory for Togo and Sana, the driving forces behind it.
