Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

TAKA

This special track features the first movement of Winter from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons", a baroque masterpiece among masterpieces.
Recently, R&B music sampling Bach's "Air on the G String" is booming once again, and it's perhaps exciting that the real beauty of Baroque melodies and harmonies is receiving renewed attention, don't you think?
For this game, I basically tried to arrange the song in a way that respects the original.
Continuously double-pressing the buttons creates harmonies between the first and second violins playing together.
The original song is slightly longer, and I had to cut parts to fit the game version, so I'd like everyone to also check out the original song.
It's a classic among classic songs, and you can probably find it in CD shops, school, and library materials.

I received a request from wac to write a few words about about "V". Well~, what should I say? I'll look at the official beatmania IIDX 5th style website for now ("V" is a crossover from IIDX5th).

Wow, the theme of 5th style was "music"! I didn't even remember that, but it certainly sounds like something I would say. And if you ask me, it certainly sounds like music. It was around this time I made Tengoku no kiss, wasn't it? Congratulations on your marriage, Matsushima! I'm sorry to all pop'n fans who don't know what I'm talking about. I'll be happy if you check out the song if you're interested.

Nevertheless, my old comments are really interesting, aren't they? But in a way, they feel painful. We take pride in being the only people to do painful things in a brilliant way, and I'd like to continue doing my best. Of course, but I feel completely different now than from that time, even if it's just one thought. What I found satisfying during that time may be dissatisfying now, and vice versa. I think this applies for everyone, not just creators. Either way, that was then and this is now, so even if you think differently, I believe it's important to not forget how you felt then. All the time, right?

Meanwhile, many users have played "V" in IIDX for a long time, which is still placed on the TOP10 of the song selection ranking, and has supposedly become a "timeless masterpiece". In the latter half of 2008, a significantly refined track called "V2" will appear in beatmania IIDX16 EMPRESS, which expands on the second half of the first movement of Winter from Vivaldi's "The Four Seasons".

To all the pop'n fans who enjoyed "V", when the pink IIDX cabinet launches, by all means give it a try.

Enjoy!

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

I think "V" (pronounced as "bui" among production staff)" is the first song which represents the keyword "MUSIC" in this game.
It's a song which conveys harsh winter, with a frozen body and mind like walking through a blizzard, but it also conveys the strength of humans who clench their teeth when walking, imagining of the comfort of a warm meal in front of a fireplace.

I started making this movie with the theme of snow falling in time with the music, shadows reflecting in windows, and continuous walking.
I don't know how this came together with an unexpected impact, such the deep snow suddenly fell with an upper groove, in addition to a combination of grooves of a coffee commercial and a silhouetted animation for a children's educational program... (I started making the concept alongside TAKA...)

TAKA said "Well, this is how it's going to be?" (In a bad mood).
On the other hand, the song was very popular with the staff... (They felt happy and sad).
I hope that everyone will watch the movie and overlaps it with the image of the song, visualizing them in your mind....

Character Information

Is TRAN, an alien girl, having fun in the falling snow...?
After wearing a scarf and coat, she ended up walking all the way to pop'n!
