Song Production Information

good-cool

When I decided to participate in 6th Style, I definitely wanted to try something. A collaboration with the VJs. When I hesitantly suggested this during a staff meeting, everyone willingly accepted it, and we were able to make this happen.

"It doesn't matter how you do it, please create the video however you'd like~"

So, I asked them to make the movie first, and then I added the song to it. Their completed videos without preconceptions were very stimulating.

To ignite a competition between shiro, HES, GOLI, and VJ GYO, I composed a song with genres divided from each image.

shiro is Techno, HES is Trance, GOLI is Drum'n Bass, and VJ GYO is 2Step. Also, I wanted to make something unique with the completed movie, so I scattered sound effects everywhere to fit the visual movements. Did you notice them?
This song's title is named with respect to the beloved 4 member VJ ARMY. The gameplay is quite hot too, so by all means, everyone please enjoy it.

Video Production Information

shiro

Although the other VJs seemed to create their videos using some songs as reference BGM, I created mine in silence while looking forward to what kind of song he'd make. good-cool, it's perfect, thank you very much.

HES

Since we were able to make it however we'd like, I easily completed it without particularly worrying about the task, but at the moment the 4 individual videos were combined together, I remember everyone worriedly asking "is this alright?" (laughs).

However, where was that worry? I was simply moved when I heard the completed version. As expected of good-cool! He's the best~

To good-cool and all the VJs, good job!

Woosh, crash!

GOLI

Honestly, I was worried. This was the first time this kind of case occurred, as we were somehow requested to conversely create the movie first. As a result, when we listened to the completed song, the staff members simultaneously repeated "it's amazing!". How did he turn this into a song? How, from such a disjointed video collection? That concept collapsed, oh? And a brand-new mysterious impression was born. When he added music to my created scene, I already felt something different. Like a version upgrade. It felt like this. The power of music is huge. And I truly thought this. good-cool, it's a really good job.

VJ GYO

This time, I was in charge of the ending.
(To those whose gauge really dropped because of the movie, I'm sorry)

VJ GYO "Isn't it better if you start creating the song and later adjust it to a certain extent, so that it flows better with the movie?"

good-cool "No, it's more interesting if the 4 members selfishly make it disjointed."

good-cool was fully confident and didn't care about my concerns at all, and he was the only person who was selected (volunteered?) to challenge the beatmaniaIIDX movie designers' "what's this" complaints.

As a result, there was a divided reaction of laughing and freezing among the staff members, and even dj TAKA, who's familiar with good-cool's ability, said "I think he'll manage until the third segment...", and this problematic song was completed.
According to rumors, good-cool seemed to initially be confused by this unusual criticism.
So, finally... as expected, that's all I can say.
It'd be great if I could've created the movie so that more sound effects were included, so I'm completely annoyed (laughs).
