Song Production Information
Tetsuya Uchida
Thank you for inviting me to participate in the BEMANI series for the first time, I'm Tetsuya Uchida.
"ERHU (pronounced arr-who)", "Er"="二", "Hu"="胡", refers to the traditional Chinese instrument "二胡 (pronounced niko)".
This song, "listen to yourself", was born by increasing its "FUNK", which is also the root of erhu and myself.
I'd be happy if you enjoy the fusion of the erhu's timbres spreading across the vast China landscape, with this track called smooth funk.
Furthermore, I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Yukihide Tomari, who participated with a jazzy & funky electric piano solo from America, and Koji Igarashi, a handsome guitarist from SPITFUNK who gave this song a lively feeling by playing a groovy funk guitar.

When I listened to this song, it felt like its digital and nature elements came together, so I created these animations with the image of spicy nature.
There's strength and various things in this gentle melody, and the more I listened to it, the more I heard it sound deeper. Erhu power!
And in addition to the funk bass resounding throughout the room...
... It definitely feels good~.
