After I challenged my [[Last Message|first euro song]] in [[AC 7th style|IIDX 7th Style]], I became completely addicted to eurobeat... just a bit.<br> | |||
To tell you how addicted I was, the cable channel in my home became a euro channel without me knowing it.<br> | |||
It has nothing to do with this... you might not know this, but I'm still inexperienced in eurobeat production, and I discovered new things by continuously listening to it.<br> | |||
I'm fully inspired, just like watching a documentary program introducing "a new world", oh... there are scales from my muddy eyes today too!! That's how I feel.<br> | |||
Or rather, if you want to try new things and master them, it's important to try it in some form everyday, even if it takes a bit of time.<br> | |||
"Try without fail everyday". This can be applied to all fields, not just music, right?<br> | |||
For example, a baseball player must practice swinging and catching balls everyday, and a person who perfectly mastered a language must no doubt create an opportunity to speak it everyday.<br> | |||
"Try without fail everyday". With such meaning, the cable channel in my home became a euro channel without me knowing it.<br> | |||
From reading up to this point, I appear to be too addicted to eurobeat~.<br> | |||
But it's not like that, I'm learning about various genres from other channels such as "house", "rock", "R&B", and "period dramas", so I'm training how to change channels without fail... Did you forget to see my face?!!... It's somewhat irrelevant.<br> | |||
However, I recently didn't have much spare time to do this, so it's a source of concern<nowiki>~~~</nowiki> (tears) Everyone, by all means, please practice the saying, "try without fail everyday", and aim to do your best to become an expert in each field~!! I'll also do my best!! | |||

An image came to my mind from the song title, "Blame", and Jeff's powerfully heartbreaking shouts, so it started with the concept of creating a movie situation where "a person blames themselves", which was completely separate from the lyrics, and I included the familiar character [[Mika]] in the role of "a person who blames themselves" in the story-styled EUROBEAT movie. | |||
The heart of this song, which especially has a strong rock tone in EUROBEAT, is after all, the guitar solo from the great guitarist, good-cool! Throughout the movie, Mika drifts and accelerates past [[Yuri]] and [[Akane]]'s cars around the corner, but spins out! A big accident occurred!? So from that point, Yuri and Akane saw Mika's spinning car and skillfully dodged it! The most dramatic scene was taken in high speed (it seemed CG like~), and I used developing multi-takes and cinematic techniques to achieve this. | |||
Also, since we received several questions, I've prepared a more in-depth movie commentary as a bonus.<br> | |||
<span style="color:orange">(※Below is an in-depth movie commentary. Long section warning.)</span> | |||
The "[[HEARTBEAT|NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIP]]" ended with great success, so Mika and Yuri will continue to be campaign girls for the next Internet Ranking.<br> | |||
They're really looking forward to meeting all the IIDX players around the country again, but of course they're looking forward to freely drive around a borrowed prototype sports car around the country as usual, so they were furthermore overjoyed when there were two cars.<br> | |||
A new and old model of the previous car is being prepared (due to the budget?), and Yuri chose the new model and Mika chose the old model (a small number of lights repeatedly flash, and they seem to like retractable sports cars), so they continued to practice their driving techniques each day until the campaign started. | |||
Meanwhile, it was decided that the next Internet Ranking will be another new event called "TRIPLE CHALLENGE", and in a hurry, they decided to have three campaign girls named after "TRIPLE".<br> | |||
Since there wasn't time to audition, Mika and Yuri could choose one of their friends... so it was left up to them.<br> | |||
Yuri suggested Akane Sugo to a confused Mika, who heard rumors and challenged them to a battle, was narrowly defeated, and became depressed... | |||
Although the three became best friends, Mika couldn't initially help but still feel pressure from Akane, who was invited by Yuri to participate to confirm her thoughts (Mika couldn't win against her through her own ability).<br> | |||
Moreover, the amateur racer Akane started racing together with Yuri and gradually improved her balanced skills, so Mika was recently worried that she was poor at maintaining a lead and time trials because of her uneven and rough driving, the overall high speed increasing, and both their levels catching up to her. | |||
They didn't do their continuous practice races and time trials one night, instead, the three of them tried having a real race.<br> | |||
This became the story of the "Blame" movie. | |||
A struggling Mika was challenged to a cornering contest, but accelerated too much and spun out. If a trailing Yuri and Akane couldn't avoid her, it would nearly become a catastrophe. Mika avoided crashing into a wall and regained her composure, but she couldn't win again... | |||
In the end, Akane waited by the finish line in the early morning. Yuri immediately arrived and pulled her car aside.<br> | |||
For the moment, both of them were relieved that there were no accidents and waited for Mika, but Mika, who arrived late, knew the severity of the accident and was completely downcast.<br> | |||
Seeing the faces of Yuri and Akane cheering her on, she smiled with relief, but flashbacks toward the accident earlier occurred... | |||
After a while, Mika was left alone after refusing to return home together with Akane and Yuri.<br> | |||
She casually looked towards the sky...<br> | |||
Mika felt a time when she enthusiastically drove a car by herself before encountering Yuri, and started driving.<br> | |||
This became the story of the "Drivin'" movie. | |||
Yuri, who also worriedly watched her atop an overpass, felt relieved seeing Mika's hot driving, as she overcame her doubts.<br> | |||
In the following second mini race, Mika overwhelmed both of them with her improved spin turns and sharp cornering from her individual training.<br> | |||
(The end) | |||
