Song Production Information

Akira Yamaoka

It's fast. You know, I personally don't really like this sound (laughs).
You might say that I was kind of bullied into writing this track.
I don't really like the rhythms of drum'n'bass or gabba, and this track hits on that.
I made it myself, but I don't really like this track that... happened, so I have to honestly say to the people who play this game, "This sucks" (laughs).
Even so, I'm glad this song is a part of the 21st century.

Video Production Information

Since my first impression was this song was of something suddenly being violated, I thought of making something that invoked just a little bit of fear, but that changed somewhere during production ... I guess I overdid it a bit. However you look at it, it's a curse.
Even if I say so myself, you just have to laugh at the absurd terror of the climax of the song. ... ... my apologies to Yamaoka-san.
