Song Production Information
TAKA
This song was included in KEYBOARD MANIA 3rd MIX. Come to think of it, it's been about a year since I hurriedly created this song to repay YUZ, who's always helped me since substream about 3 years ago, and provided IIDX with many famous movies and scenes. Speaking of keyboards, I really admire the piano, after all! So, I decided to make a trance track that fully featured the piano.
I remember thinking of various piano phrases that'd resonate with the hearts, so the essence of repetitive trance doesn't become monotonous. It already feels nostalgic. "Frozen Ray" actually continued, but there were some parts that I created and couldn't be included in KEYBOARDMANIA due to limitations, so please listen to it.

(The movie) has considerably changed from KEYBOARDMANIA, but rather than refining it, I completed it in such a form based on changes in sound balance.
