SOFT LANDING ON THE BODY

SOFT LANDING ON THE BODY
artist: DJ SIMON
Genre: SPIRITUAL

(Note: the wacky antics of this song eventually resulted in the super secret project, beatmania IIDX Soflan style, featuring famous artists such as DaQ, VAKA, and Silver Joe spinning song such as "Max 150", "Softlanding on the 2012", "Linux", "Final Answer? (MINO Crying BABY MIX)", and "kors k is dead!!!". A full investigation of this heretofor unknown release is a future project.

It's also the only time you'll see 2ch mascot Mona in "IIDX song commentary" pages (asking "Yes, teacher! Has SIMON ever made a good song?")

SOUND COMMENTARY / DJ TAKA

I got comments from DJ SIMON for this song.

"With a flowing drum'n'bass rhythm, polished piano riffs, and listless female vocals all intertwined, it's kind of strange and has a mysterious feel to it. Since it's blessed with the genre 'spiritual', I tried to make it the best 'spiritual' game song I could. It's not an accident, so play it with peace of mind."

Hmm. Anyway, we've pulled a new trick or two to use on this song, so everyone play it!

VIDEO COMMENTARY / VJ GYO

It looks like "spiritual" is a new genre for us. There's something suspicious about the great change in tempo, and a sort of melancholy image pervades the song. It's the most "problematic" song for 2nd style in terms of production. We really wanted to do an original video for this song, but this was never realized due to certain circumstances. Still, I even like this video. GOLI put some animations together especially for this song. Since it was a spiritual song, GOLI put lots of work into coming up with a good idea. He ended up giving me a rough sketch (almost a doodle) of a woman like the one that shouts "OH! Yeah!" throughout the song, brimming with a certain appealing maturity. However ... (Let's try playing it now.)
