Song Production Information

Osamu Kubota

In the 1980s there was a certain keyboard player. While his hair - down to his hips! - would fly all about, he would skillfully control five keyboards, and was famous for freely switching between complicated 7/8 and 19/16 rhythms. However, he had one weakness. He couldn't play simple 4/4 rhythms! Whenever someone suggested he start playing a simple 4/4 tune, his hands would clench, his breathing would turn shallow, and he'd claim, "4/4 music is dying". He vigorously denied the right to existence of all dance music. Time passed, and now he has perfected the ultimate in 4-beat play. No matter how close you listen to it, it's 4-beat with no changing rhythms. That is this song. Along with the meaning(?) of the word, foreplay has the double meaning of being the ultimate 4/4 play song.

It's a one minute twenty second ode to my beloved, the piano, practically without a break once it begins. What do you think? This is the second coming of Presto.

I did the animation for this song. The scenery I used was from the neighbourhood where shio and I grew up - "Secret Local Photography Special Technique!" .. And so, the climactic, personal finish.
