A hardcore song with an oriental atmosphere! Currently, the wind is leisurely blowing...

Jacket Design Information

Anyways, my theme was "amazing gold, excitement, and oriental".

To create a golden feeling, I collected shiny materials from art supply stores, such as gold leaves used in Japanese paintings, and lamé used for nails.

Afterwards, I intently drew circular motions using a brush.
The picture shows the result of trying out many styles to find a vigorous brush feel.

I always listen to songs while working, and my mind was constantly excited.

Although I'm known to always have fish-like eyes, but just this time, I was in an excited mood.

Sorry, it's me again.
When I created this song's notecharts, the chorus was so impressive that I couldn't get its phrases out of my mind, so they came to me relatively smoothly.
Since it might be difficult to divide the left and right panels between both hands, by all means, please try to study how to press them.
No~, various touches are pleasant, right?
