With this song I was aiming for the dark disco sound that vividly shows the Paris underground.<br>
I aimed for a dark disco sound, which is becoming popular deep in the Paris underground. Disco's image is generally associated with Afros and a fever atmosphere, but doesn't this song seem like a dark world where more thunderous desires swirl?<br>
The typical images most people associate with disco is afros and "disco fever", but isn't there a darker side of swirling desires?<br>
But I don't really know (laughs)<br>
I don't really know myself ... *g*<br>
The break part has a slightly rock-ish point, so please look for it and fever at that part.<br>
The breaks are kind of a rock-ish point to the song, but think of it as "fever". After all, isn't disco something that gets you in the fever?
Maybe disco is all about fever after all?

This is the very first thing I worked on for the RED production. Since I like SLAKE's songs, I was able to start work right away without too much trouble.
This is the first video I created during RED's production.<br>
I like SLAKE's songs after all, so I immediately created this without worrying.


Don't you get the feeling of a suspicious night scene as your first impression? I had the image in mind of a neon-lit nighttime environment in mind, so I went around Hong Kong taking lots of pictures.
Did your first impact after watching it feel like "a mysterious night"?<br>
I had the image of a night view and neon lights, so I actively filmed footage in Hong Kong.


... wait!<br>
Huh?!<br>
He said "Paris at night", didn't he? Sorry~<br>
It was a "Paris night"~ Sorry<br>
It looks like I got the night part right, at least ... oh well.
At least it seemed to suit the night theme... how disappointing


Anyway ...<br>
Anyways<br>
I didn't go to Hong Kong to take pictures because of this song. I happened to be travelling shortly before we began work, and when I came back and listened to this song, I thought, "hey, that's it!" But it looks like I was wrong ...
I didn't go to Hong Kong to film after listening to this song. I happened to travel there a few days before listening to this song, and after I heard it when returning, I thought "oh, it's perfect?"...<br>
It seems different, but...


After that, I bled a Chinese red over the photographs, and repeated the word "TEXTURE" (as in, a graphical pattern) to create this movie.
After that, I tried to create this video by blending a Chinese RED color with live-action materials, and overlapping it with typographic TEXTUREs (patterns).


You get great pictures from Hong Kong no matter what scenery you're in, so it's a treasure trove of photographic material. The only bad thing was probably that I didn't get to meet Jackie ... (I wonder if he's in Hollywood?)
<small>Hong Kong sceneries make great visuals, and it's a treasure of materials.<br>
But I'm just disappointed that I couldn't meet Jackie Chan... (I wonder if he's in Hollywood?)</small>
