MPB is the genre that has influenced me the most and makes me feel the best, and I have written songs that have that kind of vibe for [[Nova emocao|MAMBO A GO GO]] and [[Brazilian Anthem|Gitadora]].<br>
I'm most influenced by MPB, which is my favorite genre that gives me the best feeling, and I've currently written songs with such atmosphere in the [[Nova emocao|MAMBO A GO GO]] and [[Brazilian Anthem|Gitadora]] series.<br>
So, this song is the third in the MPB series! However, the direction is a bit different from the previous two songs, as Tizona is based on Spanish music.<br>
So, this is the third song in my MPB song series! It turned out like this, but Tizona has a slightly different direction than my previous two songs, as it's based on Spanish music.<br>
The guitar approach is not bossa nova, but more like Spanish in scale and stroke technique.<br>
The guitar closely incorporates Spanish scales and stroke techniques, rather than using a bossa nova approach.<br>
The keyboard instruments have a '70s fusion feel, with many modulations and complex tension notes in the key signatures.

Tizona d'El Cid is a sword that belonged to El Cid, a Reconquista hero active in 11th century Spain.<br>
I imagined that after El Cid's death, the sword passed through the hands of various people and finally ended up in the hands of a beautiful gypsy dancer, and I created this piece by overlaying the scene of La Reconquista and the dancer's graceful movements.<br>

I originally wrote this song for IIDX, but like "Brazilian Anthem", I decided to incorporate it into Gitadora by rearranging the drum pattern and other parts of the song.

I created this song for IIDX, but I thought that it could be crossed over to Gitadora while making it.<br>
The guitarist is Jun Kaziwara, who wonderfully played in the RHODES version of Brazilian Anthem, and in [[INFERNO]] from [[AC DistorteD|IIDX DistorteD]].<br>
This time, he also played the passionate Spanish phrases.<br>
It's certainly enjoyable if you can play the guitar this much!<br>
Please enjoy Kaziwara's passionate guitar in GuitarFreaks.

Realistic drawing style? American comic style? Ummm... I don't know... Everyone is so cute to see. And so cool too. I can't draw this. <small>(help me!! master [[Goli Matsumoto|goli]]!! master [[Maya Takamura|maya]]!!)</small>
Using a realistic drawing style? Or an American comic style? Hmm~... well, everyone looks cute. And very cool. I can't draw this. <small>(help me!! master [[Goli Matsumoto|goli]]!! master [[Maya Takamura|maya]]!!)</small>


For practice! I put a "TokiM*mo" card next to it and tried to imitate it, but it was not the same character... The team members laughed at me and put it in a folder with a funny story called "Gallery" (/_;) I tried to practice it very seriously, but~<br>
For practice! I placed a "TokiM*mo" card beside it and tried to copy it, but I can't say it's the same character at all... the team members laughed at me and ended up putting it in a funny joke folder named "Gallery" (/_;) I tried to practice quite seriously, but~<br>
Next time I see you, I'll do my best to draw a prettier gal.
When I see them next time, I'll try my best~ to draw a slightly cuter gyaru.
