Song Production Information
dj TAKA
This song is special thanks to those who said they liked "Tangerine Stream".
Because of the tight schedule, I really wanted to delay the production of this song, but KAGE forced me to finish it on time. Well, I'm glad I created it.
This song is often compared to "Tangerine~", but there are many differences among them.
Firstly, "Tangerine~" was the first song among those created for a game, while "FLOWERS~" was the last song created.
That's why "Tangerine~" had a very long production time, while "FLOWERS~" was created in ○ days.
"Tangerine~" was created as the ending, but was later added as a bonus stage song, while "FLOWERS~" was created as a regular stage song, but was also used as the ending.
Well, until the rhythm part appears in this song, the B.P.M. subtly changes.
Even though it's a bit specialized, humans are said to have a rhythm of "1/F fluctuations", which is something that sways and makes you feel good, but this time I selfishly recreated these 1/F fluctuations.
Those who can get flashes by groovily pressing during the song's first half, must have a similar sense of rhythm as me.
This isn't a good or bad thing, it's whether you're suitable or not, so I'm sorry to those which doesn't suit them.
By the way, this song title was thought of by the whole team, including VJ GYO, and I wanted it to be named after a certain artist who had a big musical influence on me.
Personally, I was happy that NAOKI, who listened to slightly similar music, immediately understood my decision.
Umm, it ended being a long story, so I will let a long-winded person tell you about these contents.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
I don't want to be known as a long-winded person, so I'll try to be brief.
The song's title placed a heavy emphasis on the phrasing of words.
Therefore, I don't think dj TAKA's message can be conveyed with a direct translation of this title.
To give you a hint, if you consider that dj TAKA was involved in the rock music world for a long time before transitioning to electronic music, you may be able to figure out who this "certain artist" is.
As for the reason for this song's title.
When it comes to dj TAKA's song titles, I often play a crucial role in suggesting a title while following his direction, and I'm the type of person to consider the meaning before thinking about the sounds of words and phrases, so I've never had such a difficult time naming this song.
You can really sense his passion when he's specific about the capitalization of this song title.
