Song Production Information
Ryu☆
I'm Ryu☆, who was able to appear once again.
This is a banging track which combines the image of snow, moon, and flowers, representing Japan's beauty, with a hard beat.
Hollow scratches!? Although it's difficult, I'd be happy if you enjoy playing this song elegantly.
Video Production Information

Japan is a nice country.
The elegance and beauty of the four seasons has been beloved and honored by many people since ancient times, and is also occasionally said to be divine. Also, in order to express that core belief, famous historical Japanese paintings and songs have tried to express its beauty, which appeals to vision and hearing through pronounced colors. This is an irreplaceable asset for Japanese people, and a wonderful gift from the past, that allows us to imagine an era we can't see.
I'd like to offer a toast to Ryu☆, who has expressed a Japanese image where various modern cultures are scattered throughout the Japanese streets. When IIDX is unearthed in the distant future, it's a trail for those in the future to experience the current Japanese era... It's also interesting to imagine this. This is speedy Japanesque. It's also Ryu☆'s own style.
This is exactly beautiful to play. That's right.
And then.
I tried to selfishly add my own image to this song.
The beautiful daughter of a samurai is illuminated under the blue moonlight.
Thinking of a man who she once grew up with while comparing themselves, she stared at the faintly breathing flowers in the garden, under the blue moonlight.
He's currently the opposing leader, who's racing through this dark night. As he dared to become a criminal, is his appearance reflected in her heart? Will the day come when she can compare big differences between herself and the man in this garden again? And again. In this garden. She still thinks under the moonlight that he's safe today. While praying that he values his own life more than his pride.
