* stoic is part of TaQ's "-ic" series of songs. | |||
* A shorter, slightly different sounding version of stoic, titled [[stoic (EXTREME version)]], can be found in [[AC DDR EXTREME|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME]]. | |||
* A long version of stoic appears on TaQ's album, [[bounce connected]]. | |||
* stoic's video is briefly parodied in the video for [[Twelfth Style]] from [[AC HAPPY SKY|beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY]]. | |||
== Trivia == | |||
* stoic's video features [[TRAN]] interacting in live-action with a monk (played by TaQ himself) dancing through the entire video. | |||
** According to the video comments, VJ GYO inserted TRAN next to TaQ without the latter's knowledge. | |||
* At the time of its release, stoic's Single NORMAL chart had the most notes of any Single NORMAL chart in beatmania IIDX. This would not be beaten until [[AC DistorteD|beatmania IIDX 13 DistorteD]] with [[Nageki no ki|嘆きの樹]], which has 902 notes. | |||
** This does not include [[Scripted Connection|Scripted Connection⇒H mix]] from [[CS HAPPY SKY|beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY CS]], whose chart was not added to the arcade release until [[AC GOLD|beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD]]. It has 875 notes, beating out stoic by one. | |||
* stoic's Single NORMAL chart is the first to be rated 7 on the old beatmania IIDX difficulty scale. | |||

Say what you will with stoic. | |||

The production of this movie was made possible with the full cooperation of TaQ, from the idea to the filming.<br> | |||
We would like to take this opportunity to express our gratitude. | |||
We have received a great number of e-mails with questions about this movie, so we would like to provide a detailed explanation of the movie.<br> | |||
(※A long description will be written below this point.) | |||
TaQ suggested the theme of "zazen (Zen meditation posture)", a posture that embodies the "abstinence" of the song's title. And so, we began by bouncing ideas off each other, saying, "We wanted a movie that was simple, silly, and cool." | |||
We started with a lively exchange of ideas, taking what emerged in the heat of the moment and comparing them to whatever conditions was available.<br> | |||
Then we tried to put all the ideas together, but they just didn't seem to fit.<br> | |||
In the end, we threw everything away, except for the "zazen" theme. | |||
Then came the day of the shooting. The basic idea was to "continue meditating", so I asked them to keep doing zazen for the time being.<br> | |||
I was thinking of using a fast-paced version of this as the basis for the film, but I felt like something didn't feel right.<br> | |||
So, on the spur of the moment, I said, "Try dancing out in that zazen position!" I told him to do it, and this ended up being too cool (and too funny)!<br> | |||
TaQ, on the other hand, strongly suggested that "stoic" actually contains the concept of "a song that turns the aura of abstinence into hop dancing."<br> | |||
So, with three cameras ([[Yoshiko Shiroki|shiro]] and [[Goli Matsumoto|GOLI]] were holding them with their hands), we filmed various patterns in addition to the dancing. More than two full hours worth. | |||
During and after the filming, TaQ and the team gave us a lot of ideas and opinions on video processing and editing, but something just didn't feel right. | |||
I was struggling with this and that in the office at dawn when I was alone, rolling a tape that included TaQ's voice saying, "It's very tiring to dance while sitting in zazen posture." | |||
I want to fill it to overflowing with delicious shots! ''(Would it be awful if I didn't?)''<br> | |||
In the name of "abstinence," I proudly ''(and secretly)'' discarded all thoughts of "I'm not going to do it again," and ended up making the film with only two shots and a little over two minutes of material ''(while keeping the rest of the content a secret)''.<br> | |||
''(The story of him performing with TRAN is actually a secret as well.)'' | |||
And I didn't even ask TaQ to check the monitor, but just said, "See it at the game center after it goes into operation..." I haven't heard his impression yet. | |||
