Around the time of [[AC_8th_style|IIDX 8th Style AC]], an extra sound effect was added to Empathy's notechart. The sound effect is similar to an effect heard in another TaQ song, Symbolic.

TaQ himself says his orchestral compositions are inspired by [[Takayuki_Ishikawa|TAKA]] and [[Osamu Kubota]], but he's truly the master in that subject. This song, "empathy", invokes a somewhat Middle-Eastern image; its title seems to be meant to invoke a sympathetic response to the idea of us, musicians, as empaths, as communicators of emotions.

We started work on this movie by deciding on a motif of transmission, resonance, and a repeating cycle of emission and reconvergence. The technique of the movie itself involves a simple style of switching between subjects, but this brings the subjects themselves to the forefront and is meant to make them stand out more to the viewers. You should appreciate the magnificence and solemnity in the movie as much as you can, as it helps to communicate the entire meaning of the musical composition. Now, the artwork for this movie was done in collaboration with [[GOLI|Goli]]. While he was also responsible for the TaQ and empathy logos, I'm especially impressed with the evil dragon god, a purifier of emotions holding spheres of running lightning in its hands.

I captured the phenomena of "transmission" through "repeated convergence and divergence" and "sympathy", and created the materials in this movie using this motif.
The movie technique itself is a simple style of switching between subjects, which I used to the effect of having the materials stand out.
The "magnificent, impressive, and grandiose" sad feelings throughout this song helps you experience it more deeply.
Furthermore, I collaborated with GOLI on the artwork.
I requested for designs such as the empathy symbol mark and TaQ's logo, and illustrations of a "devil" holding a crystal ball containing lightning, as if was purifying evil "emotions".
