 == Song Production Information ==
 === dj TAKA ===
-This song is for people who said that they liked [[Tangerine Stream]]. Because the schedule was so tight, I really wanted the production to be delayed, but KAGE forced me to finish on time. Although, I am glad I made it this song.<br>
+This song is special thanks to those who said they liked "Tangerine Stream".<br>
-This song is often compared to Tangerine Stream, but there are considerable differences among the two.<br>
+Because of the tight schedule, I really wanted to delay the production of this song, but [[Tadao Kageyama|KAGE]] forced me to finish it on time. Well, I'm glad I created it.<br>
-First of all, Tangerine Stream was the first song made for a game, as FLOWERS for ALBION was the last.<br>
+This song is often compared to "Tangerine~", but there are many differences among them.<br>
-So, Tangerine Stream had a very long production time, as FLOWERS for ALBION was only made in a few days.<br>
+Firstly, "Tangerine~" was the first song among those created for a [[AC 3rd style|game]], while "FLOWERS~" was the last song created.<br>
-Tangerine Stream was made for the ending, but was later added in as a freebie. FLOWERS for ALBION was made to be played normally in game, but was also used in the ending, etc.
+That's why "Tangerine~" had a very long production time, while "FLOWERS~" was created in ○ days.<br>
+"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 comes in to this song, the BPM subtly changes.<br>
+Well, until the rhythm part appears in this song, the B.P.M. subtly changes.<br>
-Even though it is a little specialized, this time I reproduced 1/F, which I had a really good feeling about.<br>
+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.<br>
-Those people who can outshine others during the first half of this song must have a similar feel of rhythm as me.<br>
+Those who can get flashes by groovily pressing during the song's first half, must have a similar sense of rhythm as me.<br>
-This is not a bad idea, and I wonder if it was suitable or not. For those who have not been able to match my feel of rhythm, I hope you can easily forgive 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 is named after VJ GYO. I wanted this song to be named after someone who gave me a lot of musical influence.<br>
+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.<br>
-[[Naoki Maeda|NAOKI]], who was listening to similar music at the time, understood the attempt, and smiled to himself.<br>
+Personally, I was happy that [[Naoki Maeda|NAOKI]], who listened to slightly similar music, immediately understood my decision.<br>
-As the song become longer, I suddenly wanted to talk to some of my friends about its contents.
+Umm, it ended being a long story, so I will let a long-winded person tell you about these contents.
 == Video Production Information ==
-Untranslated.
+=== VJ GYO ===
+I don't want to be known as a long-winded person, so I'll try to be brief.<br>
+The song's title placed a heavy emphasis on the phrasing of words.<br>
+Therefore, I don't think dj TAKA's message can be conveyed with a direct translation of this title.<br>
+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.<br>
+As for the reason for this song's title.<br>
+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.<br>
+You can really sense his passion when he's specific about the capitalization of this song title.
