== Song Production Information ==
=== wac ===
The sound director [[Takayuki Ishikawa|TAKA]] told me "OK, make a gospel song next".<br>
I'm wac, a former choir member. I'm still a choir member. Is it because I'm a choir guy?<br>
When I say choir, I mean a boys choir at a boys school, so it's a world where 100 young boys yell "hoiya, hoiya, shuuririenen".<br>
I wondered if it's similar to Tamayura. Rather, I said for it to be in that direction.<br>
I said "No, acapella is next". Something's different. No, acapella is impossible to include in this game.
Firstly.<br>
As it's often said, gospel means the Word of God.<br>
I'm a man who sometimes believes in God and Buddha? I wonder if I'm qualified to speak about the Word of God.<br>
However, TAKA told me "No, make a gospel song next".<br>
"But God still won't descend".


* According to wac, the original version of Make A Difference originally featured him doing the chorus of the song. This was later changed to sound closer to a song like [[Tamayura|たまゆら]].
Therefore.<br>
** He also mentions that at one point Make A Difference would have featured a cappella vocals. This was later ruled out due to the sheer difficulty of implementing them into a music game.
So, I made a five-note quintet singing "tralalalala", to which God will honorably descend in the end, so please do your best to not be taken away from this world.<br>
* Make A Difference was revived in [[AC EMPRESS|beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS]] with a new, harder HYPER chart, as well as a brand-new ANOTHER with 1000+ notes. The NORMAL chart is unchanged.
Look, this is gospel! Or maybe it's pareidolia?<br>
* Make A Difference received an Doubles ANOTHER chart on [[CS EMPRESS|beatmania IIDX 16 EMPRESS + PREMIUM BEST]]. This chart was carried over to the arcade releases in [[AC Resort Anthem|beatmania IIDX 18 Resort Anthem]].
Actually, MARI's cheerful lyrics, the up-and-coming gospel group CoCoRo*Co, and Lala Moore's session that transcended time-space, we somehow reached a gospel-like joyphilia, maybe, probably, no way, I don't know.
* As of [[AC tricoro|beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro]], Make A Difference has its own dedicated video from the DanceDanceRevolution series, slightly extended to match the beatmania IIDX audio.
** It's also currently the only song sung by Noriko Fukushima in ''any'' BEMANI arcade series.


== Song Production Information ==
For those who know such differences, I dedicate Make a Difference.<br>
Untranslated.
This song isn't brought up as a topic in the first place, but when it's brought up, it's "tralalalala", so I created this for LIGHT7. Even now, I regret every night that I should've started creating this with NORMAL.<br>
God won't descend, so to those who are confident in playing this song, please sometimes rejoice in the joy of life.

=== VJ GYO ===
This is the first song with the "GOSPEL" genre included in the IIDX series, which feels unique.<br>
When I went on a sightseeing trip in America a long time ago, I had the opportunity to listen to a gospel music performance in a church in Harlem during an optional sightseeing tour of New York City.<br>
Regardless of music likes and dislikes, I remember feeling sincerely moved by all the deeply religious people singing in a way which integrated their daily rituals in everyday life.
 
At that time, I didn't imagine it'd connect with music in IIDX, and conversely, even when I listen to this song, it doesn't connect with my image of that time.
 
However, I can see family and friends playing together, lovers talking to each other, and people walking their dogs at the local park... I was inspired seeing the locals having fun!<br>
I remember those happy and cheerful feelings of when I was among warm, gentle, and bright people who cheerfully called out to me!<br>
As expected of this song!
