Song Production Information

HIDEKI NAGANUMA

With the recent re-evaluation of '80s Eurobeat songs, which I started listening to when I was a teenager, and influenced me in many ways, I've been listened to them again, and always wanted to create a song with a NEO 80's taste.
I tried to express this in the song with a sense of respect, while creating a modern arrangement with a nostalgic feel.
After the first verse's faint and melancholic minor part, the chorus instantly bursts with a major development.
I thought it'd be 4-beats, but I love how the "Broken Heart" part in the chorus matches the rhythms to the lyrics.
I hope this song ended up being suitable for a music game like "beatmania IIDX20".

Video Production Information

NAGI

From the moment I listened to this song, I was suddenly moved by the feeling of being drawn to that world.
It's veeeery cool~!!
This is surely a psychological battle between two characters who think they're enemies, but there's another mastermind behind them...
I slowly started to come up with a story, so I started to create this video while excitedly thinking "that's right! Let's make the animations!".
As a result...

Animators are seriously gods (-゛-;)

Hmm,,, hmmmm,,,,,,...
I vowed in my heart to work harder, aiming for an expanding world, while endlessly admiring animations.

Choreography Information

Yuu

I tried to make a groovily good choreography for a groovily good song. Please try to dance groovily to it.
