Song Production Information[1][2]
TSUGARU features an authentic Tsugaru shamisen combined with dance music throughout the song.
The name Re-venge or Reven-G exists to express the identity, "I want to convey traditional Japanese music to everyone through music games".
I believe that the collaboration between pop music, which uses modern technology, and traditional Japanese music, are elements which express feelings of strong originality among people around the world, and I also currently plan to release traditional music from various regions of Japan, so please wait for that time to come!
NAOKI MAEDA

You never get tired of listening to the nice sounds of the lighthearted shamisen, right?
Benbenbenbenben~

Oh, jongara... what was that?!
It's an interesting mix. Personally, I want to listen to it even longer~.
まめしば
Aomori means Tsugaru shamisen.
When I hear the sounds of a shamisen, I remember a folk song TV show which aired on Sunday mornings at 6 o'clock.
Well. This is a danceable folk song, which brilliantly fuses shamisen and dance! It's different.
が～す～
The shamisen is hot, right!
My grandfather also played it often, but I've never heard such a cool one as this.
PON
This is a song crossed over from DDR.
The sharp tone of the shamisen raises the tension.
Oh, come to think of it, I asked cody for the data of this song.
It was during the final stages of production, so the schedule was quite unreasonable.
