Song Production Information
Mr.T
Ballads are thought to be the most unrelated to the beatmania series.
Actually, ballad is one of my favorite genres, and I thought about including them in IIDX someday as an "enjoyable" form.
One day, I arrived at work earlier than usual, and as I slowly played the piano by myself and immersed myself in that world, a melody suddenly came to mind, and I immediately created the melody and chords.
I kept the composition and arrangement simple, with drums, bass, piano, guitar, and strings, and I focused on their performance and tone.
At the arcade, it felt like a pianist accompanied by a band, and I'd be happy if you enjoy it.

desolation...
Destruction. Bleakness.
What do you think when you view that scene?
When I look back on my prior glory, I feel despair. When I think about my future glory, I feel hope.
It's neither feeling... this song conveys a warm sense of desolation.
