The theme for this song was "a slow but hard boss".<br> | |||
I wanted to break the dogma that "if it's fast of about 170-200BPM, it should be hard".<br> | |||
How could I leave my own mark on the pop'n legacy of boss songs that my seniors have built?<br> | |||
I decided to bring the last of fantasia's magic into my song.<br> | |||
Taking advantage of the lack of bar lines in pop'n and, by using 16th notes and higher and changing the time signatures, I created a sense of speed independent of the BPM.<br> | |||
As a result, it's an extremely busy song even at 140BPM.<br> | |||
I think many players were defeated even when they saw the 140 BPM. | |||
Additionally, I think the chaotic composition of this song is linked to my state of mind at that time.<br> | |||
I'm aiming to do a lot of things, but when I hear the song now, I believe it's the kind of song that can only be found in videogames and that only game music could have made.<br> | |||
The tone is complex, too; it alternates between getting lost in the forest and running through the sky, thoughtful and simple, easy to understand and hard to grasp, a happy end and a bad end, sorrowful and tender, empty and full.<br> | |||
I imagined how I'd feel if I retraced the events leading to the story's end, creating and connecting phrases together accordingly. | |||
I asked the team to reflect these thoughts accordingly with the animations, making them mysterious but lighthearted.<br> | |||
The metaphors, or rather their lack of directness, are excellent to spark the imagination.<br> | |||
Imagination is always an asset, and I think every story you can imagine is correct.<br> | |||
In my opinion, this is an important way for people to enjoy pop'n, and one of the reasons we've been able to produce 20 titles.<br> | |||
In the truest sense, pop'n music was created and taken care of by everyone.<br> | |||
Thank you all very much. | |||
As the music fades out, "MURAKUMO" has no set ending.<br> | |||
I thought that fading it out would be more profound and beautiful than giving it a clean end.<br> | |||
However, I'm aware that beyond the fade out, the next era awaits.<br> | |||
A brand-new pop'n music is already in motion. | |||
And I, with all my brazenness and generosity, would like to ask you all to help me take care of it as well.<br> | |||
Thank you for your continued support of pop'n music. | |||

Okay, I thought about writing a poem here,,, but I couldn't think of anything~, so I'll just say that I'm happy to be in charge of these animations. | |||
The MZD I sketched at first looked a bit more childish, but I chose to make him walk away from the camera for his NEUTRAL animation and try to make animations with an almost invisible face and no facial expressions, so that his age would be ambiguous. PON also wanted "a boy who appeared normal at first glance but had a mysterious aura".<br> | |||
However, making animations without face expressions was pretty challenging. So I put a lot of effort into the movement of the wrists and the fluttering of his clothes and such... I hope you can feel the love. | |||
Personally, the animation where he lies in a peaceful meadow is my favorite. I'd love to bask in the sun like that. | |||
