Lyrics

Sound bite in this song is "1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, Do it!"
"Bitchin' and whinin' and moanin' later"
""Without further ado, the lights are gonna be dim, so...
"So just make sure you know where your valuables are."
"Ok, without further ado, we're gonna give the man of honor here, the guest of honor here, and I hope you bought Wii tickets"
"So after that..."
"Twin sent me like a bunch of messages about him wanting to perform and do para and do a music session before the event"
"...and I haven't seen him yet. And where the hell is Chef?"

Song Connections/Remixes

One of 4 songs that are part of the Military Splash #02 Extra Stages, with this song being Battlefield Sky. The video's enemy is "ICAROS", the depiction of Eagle, with 4300 HP.
This song bears a striking resemblance to LIA's "Light In The Air ～“oh my god!!”FORCE mix～", also produced by kors k
A sequel to this song, D, appears on AC SIRIUS.

Trivia

Like AC DistorteD's Cardinal Gate and AC GOLD's VIP Room Extra Stages, all Military Splash #02 songs have different color skins. This one has a blue and white skin.
In Greek mythology, Icarus was the son of Daedalus, who, in trying to escape from King Minos, flew too high to the sun, and died when his wings made of wax melted.
Received a black another single chart in CS DJ TROOPERS.
The samples at the beginning and before the slowdown are taken from Bemanifest 07.

Song Production Information

The loss of the kraken brought the anger of the king, which in turn led to his imprisonment. Although he made wings with wax and feathers, flying through the sky and succeeding in escaping, Icarus wished to fly higher. For a while, he was able to fly where he wanted. However, the wings, which were made of wax, dissolved with the heat of the sun, and he fell and died.

I produced a song characteristic with the story, with BPM changes, a cyber sound, and a radio voiceover reminiscent of fighter pilots in this song production. Honestly, I feel that this is a very difficult song to pass...

Video Production Information

Because I have trouble drawing mechanical things, I had difficulty starting this project. However, I decided to make an image that was strong, yet delicate. The main body of Icarus, which pulls you in with the tune, was the last thing that I produced.

The feathers scattering, and the way they fell... I was thinking how such a light looking aircraft could fly.
