This year I wanted to make a song outside of my normal style.
So, this year, I wanted to try making a pop-rock song, a love song.

Making this kind of song is not easy for me, given my personality.
I have never written any song with lyrics.
Let alone a love letter, or even a birthday card.
But I want to try anyway.

I could write only just a small verse.
After that, I don't know what to write anymore.

I asked my musician friend (Dekdekbaloo) to help me complete the lyrics.
He also performed the guitar.
I'm amazed that he can play along with such a fast song.

MindaRyn provided the vocals.
Such a powerful vocal performance!

@suitougreentea also helped translate the song lyrics into Japanese.
I hope to make a longer version with Japanese vocals.

I appreciate everyone's help in this project.

This song is based on piano and has intense drums.
Therefore, I have also included the [PIANO] and [DRUMS] charts.
I hope you will enjoy this song and its notecharts.

p.s.
I also made another song in team "隊."
In that song, I try to imitate a popular music style in northeastern Thailand.
I hope to convey the feeling of Thai-style music.
Please check it out, and I hope you also enjoy that!

This is the first song that I recorded with an electric guitar.
I usually play acoustic guitar and sing pop songs.

Collaborating with this project reminded me of the time
when I was so much into music games such as DJ MAX, O2Jam, Osu etc.
I am not that good at playing these games but I love music
and many songs in the games are so well produced.
I got goosebumps whenever I listen to one of these songs.
I almost forgot that I really wanted to compose songs for music games at least once.
This brings back good old memories.

After listening to the song
I've already felt the notes moving around on the game screen.
The main idea is to make the notes sound fun to play.
I slowly went through each section
and put notes on each along with these crazy chord progressions we have.

For the lyrics,
I added the melody notes first and think up of a way to tell a love story.
This is not a happy ending song nor a sad dramatic love story.
I want listeners to feel about the time when you fell in love
and you were really happy just by thinking of someone.
So, combined with main theme of the chorus part,
I created a back story which clarifies and connect all of the parts together
leading to a wonderful ending.

Make sure you listen to all parts in this masterpiece bits by bits.
It shows you the blend of each unique artists' style which deliver to you awesomeness!

(英語詩からの)日本語訳を担当させていただきました。
初めての試みでしたが、"歌える"訳にするのってとても難しいですね。
拙い訳ですが、温かい目で見て頂けたら幸いです。
ついでに、私の作品「Piece of Mine」もよろしくお願いします。
