Song Production Information

DJ Noriken

Hello, DJ Noriken here. It's almost 2 A.M. while I'm writing this. I'm hungry.

This time, L.E.D. asked me "Noriken, think of a IIDX-like song".

Think of a IIDX-like song? Because I was struggling for ideas, I went to play to an arcade and played INFINITAS as well, and while I was playing various songs, I remembered the time when I spent a lot of time playing IIDX and I talked with many people there while I was a student.
I thought of the local arcade regulars who I haven't talked or seen for a while, but if I talk about the memories with them, it'll be very long, so this is not the place for that.

As I remembered that, after making many project files with emptiness, I made a song with the idea of making me think "I want to play this" as a player!
That's why there's a lively sound mixing a modern progressive style with the student days when I played everyday.

Well... Not necessarily this time, but when I make a "song I want to play~!", sometimes I don't know what genre is it?
Anyways, this is a song with an emotional takeover, but I'd appreciate if you go and play it by all means.
It'd be great if there were people who remember this song decades later.
It's a nice story.

So please, play it everyone!

Wow, it's already 3 A.M.! Time to sleep!
