The basic concept of songs from the RE-VENGE alias is to fuse traditional folk music of the world with modern technology. Continuing from the approach of my previous work "[[ORION.78(AMeuro-MIX)|ORION'78]]" (a fusion of Okinawan ethnic sounds and dance music), with Japan as the theme this time, I created this song with the motif of "awa odori", one of Japan's famous dances(?). Actually, another version of the song titled "MATSURI(J-SUMMER MIX)" previously debuted in DanceManiax 2ndMIX, but "Matsuri JAPAN", included in DDR5th MIX, is the original version. I want everyone to remember the original dance culture of Japan once more with this song. It's a return to the origin.

Matsuri JAPAAAN (Hiromi flavor)
I drew a flame in the background. No matter how you see it, it originally wasn't supposed to be a flame.
First, it was a crowd gathered at a festival. But, that just wasn't enough.
I tried to include color tones. It still wasn't enough.
I distorted it a bit. It still wasn't enough.
It still wasn't enough to express the excitement, passion, and impact of a festival.
It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough. It wasn't enough.
I'm a rice baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaall snaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaack guuuuuuuuuuuuuuuYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYYyyyyyyyy.
And as I overlapped it several times, it turned into a flame.
So that's how it became a flame. It's not from lighting a match.
