Song Production Information
dj TAKA
"Clione" and "starmine" were brilliantly chosen from the 400 songs submitted.
I had various difficulties with the criteria for choosing the songs, but I eventually emphasized on how well these songs would capture people's hearts.
These two songs overwhelmingly shine in that regard, and have received support from many people following their release, so I'm also glad I chose them.
I think both artists still have big potential, and I'm looking forward to seeing their activities in the future.
Well, when I was mixing "Clione", I spent a lot of time checking the file compatibility with Macintosh and Windows, and once I achieved this, it went well.
I felt like it completely became my own sound, but I was relieved that kors k also liked it.
Video Production Information
NEW-3
When I heard this song, I combined the image which came to my mind from the image of the song title "Clione", and eventually created a movie with the theme of "divine beauty".
I was only able to express large part of the link with the rhythm, but I'd be happy if you can feel its "beauty" in the colors, even for a moment.
However, I tried to avoid smelly expressions since the theme was just the theme, but it eventually became smelly.
Finally, I'm really sorry to VJ GYO for unreasonably requesting for his live-action materials (T_T).
