Song Production Information
Akhuta
This song was released simultaneously for both IIDX and REFLEC BEAT.
At first, I made the song at around 120 BPM. But I couldn't contain my impatience, so I raised the BPM by about 6.
As for the song, if I had to put it bluntly, I'd say it's like "hide-and-seek in the dark." It makes you guilty of something!
