Song Production Information
DJ Scratch & Bend
I think this was the perfect response to meet the order of a "bright melody" + "train feeling".
Video Production Information
NAGI
I was in charge of DJ Scratch & Bend's song, which can be released on Kaitsuu! Tokotoko line.
The song this had a dreamy feeling in the middle part, and I remember thinking "let's make the train fly in that part!"
The most impressive part was that I thought I was making a cute toy train with one car, but when I finished it, it looked like a bus.
But when I ran it on the tracks, it finally looked like a train.
