This song is from the album Denjin K (on sale at KONAMI STYLE and rated highly!). The album had already been produced by the time EMPRESS was announced and song was already planned out even before the announcement of EMPRESS.
==== L.E.D.-G ====
This song is included in the album "Denjin K (now on sale at konamistyle and critically acclaimed!)".<br>
Back when I created this album, the EMPRESS project was already active, and its concept was already decided.


Originally, the Denjin K version of the song was supposed to be a more uptempo version of [[THE EARTH LIGHT]], so at the time, in consisted of dark-sounding music. I decided to add a brighter tone to the song, giving the sense of floating, along with some added tone to give the song more body, creating a new song, JEWELLERY STORM.
Well basically, I created Denjin K to only have dark-styled songs until the middle of its production, so when I considered my next song concept, I thought somehow one song deeply shined among those in the album, and I created JEWELLERY STORM as a new song.


The song's vocalist, Eriko Tanzawa, had previously sung in IIDX and in Denjin K, and was requested to sing by Maiko Horisawa, even before I had finished producing the song. Usually, when singing to a recording of a song, you need at least two weeks for preparation, lyrics, and recording, but we only needed a week to finish the whole process.
The song's vocalist, Eriko Tanzawa, was introduced to me from Maiko Horisawa's request, who previously sung in IIDX and greatly assisted in Denjin K's production, and as I wrote above, when I suddenly decided to include this song, there's usually around a 2 week preparation period before recording the vocals and writing the lyrics, but this time, the recording took around a week to prepare.


I would like to thank all the affiliated people who helped me to finish Denjin K and helped it to receive high marks at KONAMI STYLE.
It was completed thanks to those involved in assisting me with various things.<br>
The album "Denjin K" is now on sale at konamistyle and critically acclaimed. (Am I stubborn?)

My impression when I first listened to this song was "it's rare!". It has a bright melody, a female Vo., and Japanese lyrics... it's quite rare among L.E.D.'s songs to have this taste after a long time, right? However, in contrast to its cute image, the notecharts have fast BPM and high density, so it'll require quite some physical strength. The rhythms in the first half are difficult to understand, so let's perfectly learn them by carefully listening to this song in the soundtrack!

I heard that the theme for EMPRESS this time is "girl power", so I tried to make the movie in full force!
I heard that this theme is EMPRESS, so there's "girl power" in full force! I tried to create the movie like this.


"Can you hear it? The nostalgic voice I heard that day" gave me an idea of the memories of a lovely couple from the beginning with the lyrics, looking back to a large number of photos taken.
