Song Connections/Remixes

• The middle of the song (around 0:45) the drum pattern is very similar to the pattern heard in LIGHT MOTION, another RAM song from beatmania 7th Mix.

Song Production Information

I think this is the most melodious song I've mad so far. The tempo and rhythm are about the same as my other songs, but the synth riffs are a lot more melodious and musical, I think. I don't make a lot of songs like this, but since trance has been really popular lately, I made something a little more like that. The breakbeats-like section in the middle is really different from my usual, though *g*

Video Production Information

This is totally unrelated, but recently all of us on the arcade team were invited to an event celebrating the launch of a (5-key) Beatmania machine. Thanks for letting me borrow this space to talk about it; it was a really nice thing to do.

However, it's been five years since we've been involved in home production. The pleasure of this job isn't so much the ceration and editing, but the knowledge that somewhere, someone is having fun playing your songs and watching your videos over and over again.

Well. Like the song, this movie is fairly simple and easy to understand. My intent was to create a movie that was a homage to the minimalism of those early days of Beatmania, but the line between that minimalism and my own lack of time, equipment, and expressive power is pretty fine.
