The title "ABSOLUTE" means "definitely" or "perfectly unmatched". From that title, this number is filled with positivity and brightness. The refrain phrases used in the beginning and ending sections are so impressive, that you won't forget once you hear them. The vibrant synths give you happiness. The middle section suddenly becomes melodious, and the balance with the main phrase is exquisite. This song demonstrates dj TAKA's skill, who also composed "[[Quickening]]". | |||

Personally, dj TAKA's recent songs, all have sounds I like, so I quite like them.<br> | |||
dj TAKA's songs are high quality for games, and somehow remain in your mind just by listening to them.<br> | |||
And he uses various distinct sounds, which results in his skill of creating the eventual song.<br> | |||
Every time he does this, it provides me with a brand-new challenge. | |||
The songs in famous trance CDs (I mostly borrow them from VJ YUZ) are certainly wonderful, and I often listen to them, but when I hear dj TAKA's arrangements and songs, there's something different about them.<br> | |||
I've only participated in creating button-pressing animations and materials for movies until now.<br> | |||
That was also my initial plan, but this phrase "ABSOLUTE" remained in my mind, and I wanted to try and create a movie for dj TAKA's song from the beginning.<br> | |||
So I unreasonably requested VJ GYO to let me do it. | |||
I felt a brand-new sensation.<br> | |||
If I somehow have another opportunity, I want to challenge myself to create different movies | |||
