Song Production Information

Vocals/Kanako Hoshino

Hey, everyone, it's been a while, it's me Kanako Hoshino ☆ (^ ^) ★.
After 未来のプリズム, written by Ikuta Machine, I have another chance to sing a song written by him!!!

Since the last theme's main color was "blue", I had an image like that in mind....
But when we were working on the new song Answer, we found out that the new theme's main color was "red" w (° o °) w.
So, for the movie, ☆Ikuta machine gave me a long red dress to wear.

I wanted to write the lyrics for song as a farewell gift for a friend who was leaving on a long journey.
My favorite part of the lyrics were using the ideas of "tears" and "sadness" in the chorus, making them into something I liked.
Perhaps it was easy for me to put down these feelings since I can be a crybaby sometimes. (^_^;)

For the first time in a movie, I Hoshino actually get to perform an action scene (° - °).
Before shooting for the movie, I was taught how to punch and kick the attacking enemy actors!
I was also taught how to dodge blows and anticipate attacks, which at the end everyone said that they were impressed with. (T_T)
I have always admired strong women, and in this movie, I am shown defeating several enemies attacking me in sequence, and eventaully confronting the mysterious boss S!
I might have taken the role too seriously, as some people reacted anxiously around me during the shoot! (laughs)

Sound/生田真心

Ikuta Machine here.
This is the second time I have collaborated with Hoshino, after 未来のプリズム.

In producing Answer, I aimed toward making a song that emphasized the best singing qualities of Kanako Hoshino.

What did you think? If you like it, then please enjoy playing it!!!

Video Production Information

For this movie, I wanted to portray the concept of a "cool adult woman."

When I first got the theme for this style, the idea of having Hoshino being an action star first appeared in my mind.
I really have wanted to take the challenge of directing an action-packed scene, so when the opportunity came up, I embraced it with all my heart's content.

I hope that this will increase Hoshino's appeal.
