== Song Production Information == | |||
=== Genbu === | |||
Hello. I'm Kametarou Kameda, who is playing the role of Genbu this time around.<br/> | |||
You can't beat me. There's no openings for you at all. After the match I'll stand in the ring and sing "FANTASY" or something. (Today's meme)<br/> | |||
"You are a turtle. A slow, clumsy turtle" was the orders I was given, so I became a turtle in body and soul. Sorry, this body was no good. | |||
I worried about lots of things, like if this is fitting for one of the four heavenly kings, so I tried to express a turtle-like strength. | |||
After all, it's a turtle.<br/> | |||
It's slow. It's veeery slow. So, you see, it's slow. | |||
After all, it's a turtle.<br/> | |||
It's hard. It's got very high defense. It will reflect all the players' attacks. | |||
After all, it's a turtle.<br/> | |||
It lives in the water. It sways to and fro. The patterns represent the flow of water. | |||
After all, it's a turtle.<br/> | |||
The second half isn't quite a victory. The rabbit is catching up. This must be what you call "deretsun". (Today's meme) | |||
In other words.<br/> | |||
It doesn't matter whether it's a long song or not. Just make a turtle-like song.<br/> | |||
It doesn't matter if the note chart is fun or not. Just make it an obstacle between the player and the OMES.<br/> | |||
That was the theme, so I'm satisfied with my own sense of achievement.<br/> | |||
I did it Kametarou did it he really did it I'm so sorry. | |||
I thought about things like BPM or density or come on give me a break already but nowadays there's mods like SUDDEN+ and HS5 that go easy on all the "I love fast songs! I hate slow songs!" kids so I figured I'd make something to rage against that sort of world.<br/> | |||
If you have any confidence in your skills, please play this song with no mods.<br/> | |||
It's nice to play HS0, no mods every once in a while.<br/> | |||
I don't know if it's a good idea to do that with this song though. | |||
The song title came from<br/> | |||
Turtle → green turtle → elephant turtle → sea turtle → soup → scary → ghost → something's mixed up in this → water turtle → water jug → Ganymede and the lonely magical banana.<br/> | |||
It's the so-called solitary wit.<br/> | |||
I hope to see you again next time. | |||
== | == Video Production Information == | ||
=== HES === | |||
For this song, the composer of Ganymede gave me a few keywords to focus on when designing the movie images.<br> | |||
So I decided to design the turtle as a mechanical being.<br> | |||
A Holy Beast once protected the land...<br> | |||
Archaeological digs suggested that the being was composed of technology that was not possible for that time.<br> | |||
The scene where the mecha was submerged in water was my visualization of the keywords, a scene representing the infinite universe.<br> | |||
