Song Production Information[1]
When I received an order from wac, telling me to make a song that is themed around Nobunaga, the keyword lurks inside for the very first time, was something that is sort of "a Japan viewed from foreign countries".
Because of the Sengoku period aspect, I absolutely thought of wanting to avoid just using harmonious musical scales and Japanese instruments at ease; for instance, foreign DJs and theatre composers (those who create music for movies and dramas) make which sounds they should stick in, when viewing an alternate scene from the Honno-ji temple and looking at the scenario. With this type of sense,
I express my tension with music in place, by mentally picturing it with Nobunaga's point of view, from the sense as a Japanese person inside of me.
What does Nobunaga think of when he is betrayed by his liege, and is engulfed by flames?
Shock, ire, frustration, regret, despair...
Here, while watching drama footage, I went on to pair it with a BGM sense.
