Since this is a very bold song, I wanted the movie to have the same sort of vigorous feeling to it. (Do you get it? Don't wory about it, and just get into the feeling.)

I had the image of the "walls" in "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti. "No matter what is written on the wall, the wall is innocent - it has committed no crime." Something like that. Not really the same as "the pen is mightier than the sword". "Don't emphasize the violent aspect, but rather the expression on the wall. There's nothing wrong with using a wall this way." That kind of feeling is what I was aiming for ... (But be careful! In reality, it's a crime to write graffiti on the walls!)

So. The graffiti style. Street style. I went for a mix of the blood-splatter-like design + typography + TaQ. I don't think anyone realizes it, but the images are taken from the first Secret Live event.

Song Connections / Remixes

  • A down-tempo, extended version of Innocent Walls appears on TaQ's second album, ongaq:stromatolite.
  • The Single ANOTHER chart version of Innocent Walls sounds significantly different than the other charts.

Trivia

  • Innocent Walls was largely composed while TaQ was recuperating in a hospital. The title is a reference to the hospital walls based on a conversation TaQ had with another patient.
    • TaQ later stated on Twitter that the conversation during his recuperation was what led him to stop contributing to beatmania IIDX, believing he has done his part and should move on, despite the beatmania IIDX staff's opposition.
  • Innocent Walls' charts were made by TaQ himself.
  • Retroactively, Innocent Walls is the first song to have a Level 12 Single HYPER chart.
  • Innocent Walls' old BEGINNER chart has the highest notecount of any BEGINNER chart, with 530 notes.
  • Innocent Walls and Changes mark TaQ's final original compositions in beatmania IIDX.
  • Measure #69 of Innocent Walls' ANOTHER chart may be considered an inside joke.

Since this is a very bold song, I wanted the movie to have the same sort of vigorous feeling to it. (Do you get it? Don't worry about it, just get into the feeling already.)

I had the image of "walls" in "Innocent Walls" being covered with graffiti. "No matter what is written on the wall, the wall is innocent - it has committed no crime." Something like that. Not really the same as "the pen is mightier than the sword". Rather, the feeling of "Don't emphasize the violent aspect, but rather the expression on the wall. There's nothing wrong with using a wall this way." is what I was aiming for... (Be careful, though! In reality, it's a crime to write graffiti on the walls!)

So. The graffiti style. The street style. I went for a mix of the blood-splatter-like design + typography + TaQ. I don't think anyone realizes it, but the images are taken from the first Secret Live event.
