Wow, that's amazing!! Amazing!! （≧▽≦） | |||
I helped a bit with the previous jubeat game, so this is my second time working with KONAMI, but wow, I was excited to sing a KONAMI original song, and I couldn't believe my name appeared!!<br> | |||
(Nanako's name fully appears on the official website's [https://web.archive.org/web/20160702221250/http://www.konami.jp/bemani/jubeat/ripples/music/list_bronze.html MUSIC LIST]!<br> | |||
"This song can be played when you reach the grade" Bronze class)<br> | |||
I'm honored! And moved! (>_<) | |||
I'm saying this because I'm actually from the booming BEMANI generation...<br> | |||
As I poorly played RPG, shooting, and fighting games, music games were a great solution for me.<br> | |||
I was addicted to the arcade and also played the home versions.<br> | |||
Of course I was also addicted to pop'n with its exclusive controller, which I definitely played when I went to the arcade.<br> | |||
I remembered [[Mazinger Z]] in pop'n (laughs). | |||
I can't believe the day has come when I'm able to sing in the latest game in the BEMANI series!<br> | |||
I'm very grateful to the lovely staff I've met, and to KONAMI, who made a bold decision to use me as a newcomer.<br> | |||
The composer is <span style="color:red">Yoshihiko Koezuka</span>, who's completely well-known in the series!!<br> | |||
I certainly thought it'd be announced in Koezuka's name.<br> | |||
I wasn't prepared for it... I'm on edge.<br> | |||
I usually perform jobs such as cover songs where my name doesn't appear, so this is the first job where my name appears to the world!<br> | |||
To those who know Nanako through this song, nice to meet you m(_ _)m<br> | |||
I haven't done any big activities yet (smirks)<br> | |||
I hope you'll support me in the future.<br> | |||
I forget that this song is too good, but I'd be happy if you can somehow give me your impressions of this song.<br> | |||
Please write them on your blogs. I'll take a look at them (laughs). | |||
Yes, this song sounds nice after all!<br> | |||
I personally like the middle section's strikes, which I unconsciously start dancing to! Also, the ending is BEMANI-ish! (laughs)<br> | |||
I don't have a high-pitched voice, and I've recently only sang Western music for work, so these types of songs are rare for me, and I excitedly sang it. | |||
When I previously participated in jubeat for the first time, I excitedly went to the arcade and courageously said to the college boys lining up, "excuse me, please choose this song for a bit", and asked them to let me play it (laughs).<br> | |||
Isn't it an unlockable song this time? It seems more difficult for me to listen to it...<br> | |||
When someone called out to me at the arcade, by all means, please support me (laughs). | |||
== Jacket Design Information == | |||
=== [[Hitomi Isono|isonin]] === | |||
"A shy girl who dresses fashionably!"<br> | |||
So, I had a somewhat chic image of a slightly pretty girl...<br> | |||
But still maintaining a girly feeling of stretching...<br> | |||
That's why I created it to show a maiden's nervous heart. | |||
It's actually nail polish, not perfume.<br> | |||
Doesn't applying nail polish make you somehow feel like an adult?<br> | |||
I only applied it three times so far. | |||
== Chart Production Information == | |||
=== Yoshihiko Koezuka === | |||
Hello everyone. I'm Yoshihiko Koezuka.<br> | |||
I'm going to comment on "Queen's Paradise".<br> | |||
For my jubeat skills, I'm a complete novice, so could I somehow have a huge role in thinking of notecharts? And.<br> | |||
I've so far roughly decided the rhythms I wanted for these kinds of charts. It was too difficult, that I couldn't clear it...<br> | |||
Afterwards, the reigning "queen of charts", T_da completed it after several adjustments.<br> | |||
It apparently seemed easy, that she adjusted it in a difficult direction. How amazing is she? The users playing it are even more amazing. | |||
isonin was in charge of the jacket design, who's a new designer.<br> | |||
After greeting everyone in the company, she was immediately asked to create the jacket of this song.... how unfortunate (laughs)<br> | |||
And I, Koezuka, am said to complain about the design details, and I was also quite annoying this time.<br> | |||
Perhaps it was irritating for isonin. But, it had a very lovely result.<br> | |||
This is her debut work. I'm honored to experience it. | |||
To both of them... even now, I'm being watched from behind as if I was told "quickly write a comment".<br> | |||
Oh~ they're scary... I need to quickly write it... Oh, it hurts!... sorry, sorry. I'll write it immediately.<br> | |||
Ho, they're actually very lovely women. Phew, I was able to write it....<br> | |||
T_da, isonin, is this good? | |||
=== T_da === | |||
OJ, thank you for your lovely comments. Why are you sorry?<br> | |||
There's a unique difference when the person who created "Queen's Paradise" added its notecharts as expected!<br> | |||
All its difficulty levels were very interesting, so by adjusting the sections which I thought were impossible from the arm's structure, I made it slightly more difficult.<br> | |||
It's an amazing technique that the EXTREME chart's pre-chorus matches the accompaniment instead of the vocals, and it feels exceptionally great! | |||
