 ** Antares is the red star in the middle of the constellation Scorpio; its name means "anti-Ares". Ares is the Greek god of war, called Mars by the Romans. Antares and Mars' red flames stood in stark contrast in the night sky, thus "scorpion fire" (a direct translation of 蠍火) refers to Antares, the red flame burning in Scorpio's body. Therefore, the title fits wac's pattern of piano pieces named after stars.

 * ピアノ協奏曲第1番"蠍火" is thought to be inspired from Sergei Rachmaninov's "Piano Concerto No.2 in C-minor" first movement, which has a very similar style. This would also explain the resemblance in author names (Sergei Rachmaninov / Virkato Wakhmaninov).

-The concept of his commemorative debut piano concerto "Sasoribi", was born from such despair and hopelessness. This was an ambitious work which tried new things at that time, including the fusion of a newly released mellotron with an orchestra. Originally, the composition was planned to be a standard piano concerto with three movements, but since its first performance was suddenly held using a large keyboard and disc, it was performed as a single movement of around two minutes. Therefore, the light and dark undulations of silence and motion are intense within a short time period, which was also influenced from the picture book "Yokatta ne Ned-kun".<br>

 After that, Virkato seldom talked about this variation with "a large keyboard and disc", but his last words during his final years were "it might be unreasonable to play this on a 7-key keyboard". It's too late to realize this now.

 Virkato was ahead of his time when his song "[[Ongaku]]", which was based on "Piano kyousoukyoku dai 2 ban "Jinsei iroiro"", could be played using the nine round and colorful buttons, but believing the rumors that advanced players considered the difficulty level of nine buttons songs to be far easier since "Ongaku", it's said he was determined to perform a variation of "Sasoribi" for the nine buttons game. Rumors are scary.
 When asked about the increasing difficulty level in comparison to playing it with the original seven keys and disc, Virkato frowned and replied "it's nothing special in comparison to playing it with 14 keys".<br>
-Furthermore, when Virkato was asked "who wants charts like this? Who are these charts for?", he froze and replied "... It's for you in the future, I wonder...".

 Although the character's background is invisible, I mainly chose silent from his affinity with high EX difficulty levels. The animations look the same, so I wanted to slightly change the atmosphere of the illustrations and design it from scratch. I couldn't see much under the piano, so it felt fresh.
