Doesn't this song get more exciting just before the chorus and then it goes in a bright direction!?<br>
The way this song gets slightly melancholic is irresistible.<br>
You can get the feeling that love is not that simple.<br>
Love is difficult, isn't it? Really... but what about the excitement in your heart??? I can't help about this heartwrenching feeling.

This time, I was in charge of the song "Guarana" by Sukima Switch.<br>
Isn't it perfect for the current hot season of powerful, refreshing, and heartwarming songs.
 
The first question that happened when I started working on it was, what the heck is a "guarana" anyway?<br>
Since it was an important keyword, I immediately began researching and found that it's a carbonated drink (cola color) originally produced in Brazil.<br>
And although I was impressed, I thought that it would be difficult to use it as the image for the illustrations.
 
The lyrics also have a strong romantic tone, so I decided to GO with the image of "sweet and sour soda-like love", and my usual original worldview.
 
A self-sufficient life on a peaceful ranch.<br>
Jake is a young man who loves to fly in his beloved plane, GUARANA, which he inherited from his late father.<br>
He can fly through the sky better than anyone else, yet he is too shy to say what he wants to say in front of the woman he loves.<br>
She is Claire, the beautiful daughter of a landowner.<br>
She has bred many thoroughbreds with pedigrees, and they have won many awards.<br>
Jake always thinks about her when he is flying in the sky with his feelings for her.<br>
What will happen to the distance between these two people who are in such different positions to love?
 
And so on.
 
This song had a clearer tone than usual, and the lyrics were very well told.<br>
The number of cuts increased as I was drawing.<br>
If the final climax of the song makes the player feel as if the music and video are one, it will be a success!
 
I hope that the song will be enjoyed by many players because of the effort that went into it.
