Surprisingly, the first song I made for beatmania was Drum & Bass.<br>
This is surprisingly the first DRUM & BASS song I made in the beatmania series.<br>
Niatari helped with the production, while Maiko Horisawa participated with vocals.<br>
While creating this track, I previously thought about asking Maiko Horisawa, who participated as the lyricist and vocalist this time, to participate in my track production if there's an opportunity, and this time, Horisawa's style matched my track's desired image, so I gave her my long-awaited offer. As a vocalist and opera singer, Maiko Horisawa is a talented singer who's active in a wide range of genres, and I think many people have heard Horisawa's songs in various places.<br>
I was eager to participate in this production with the opportunity before me. <br>
Well, the title "PHOTONGENIC" is a blend of the words Photon, Genetic, Photogenic.
To match the vocals with the style of the song, I asked Maiko Horisawa to sing, and she accepted the offer.<br>
 
Mrs. Horisawa is a talented vocalist and singer, and has been active in many genres of music, such as opera.<br>
I think many of you have heard Horisawa singing before.<br>
The title "PHOTONGENIC" is a neologism I made up, combining the words photon, genetic, and photogenic.<br>

I usually sing songs for other games, so this is the first time that I have sung in a Drum & Bass song by L.E.D.<br>
Usually, I sing healing pop-styled songs, but for my first DRUM & BASS song, L.E.D. and I were able to form this song's worldview together, which was very enjoyable. I'm moved to be able to share fun with many BEMANI fans through music and games. I also posted the lyrics in my homepage, so please post your impressions if it's great. I also sing the PS2 "Z.O.E" theme song, so some people might know me from that(^^)
I enjoyed this so much. We all are so thrilled to share this song to all the Bemani fans.<br>
If you are pleased by the lyrics, you can leave a comment for me.<br>
Also, if you have ZOE for the PS2, can someone help me, since I cannot sing the theme song (^ ^)<br>

Following 8th style, I was asked to work to make another movie for L.E.D. The impression of the song to me as well as the drum and bass sections and the feminine vocals made me feel as if in space. It was so cute.<br>
Following [[CS 8th style|8th style]], I once again created a video for L.E.D.'s song.<br>
On L.E.D.'s urging, I made the movie using the colors he suggested, but the methods of making the movie as well as the short timeline meant that the movie was rushed.<br>
It's a D'n'B song with a speedy feeling and female vocals providing a sense of space... it's too lovely.<br>
The last time, I finished the movie differently, I think.<br>
Taking L.E.D.'s requests such as image color into account, I completed this video during a tight production period, due to my misuse in time management.<br>
Recently, I've noticed that I have been using a lot of blue in my movies. <br>
I think I finished it slightly differently to his [[NEBULA GRASPER|previous video]]. Although blue hasn't primarily appeared in my videos recently, I still really liked this color while making this video. ...... Even though I made a video with a color I liked, I wonder why it's difficult... because of my misuse in time management. What do you think? (sweating)
I can tell that I like this color through my work, but I sometimes think that because of that, my video production is too uptight, I failed to use other colors, and I wasted too much time.<br>
