Song Production Information[]
wac[]
Let's see. I guess I had some favors to ask from TAKA, and a few came up while we were going home on the subway one day. This is how they turned out. He was supposed to have lots of collaborations with people, but this is one of his first, and somehow it ended up being with me.
Come to think of it, we've known each other for a long time. Something like, "Yeah, let's do something really moving."
So it's trance, yes? Great, let's talk about my feelings towards trance. So I've never really listened closely to trance but this time I heard a lot of things for the first time. I had lots of thoughts like, "Why Ibiza?" "What's the deal with progressive house?", but I'd never really bought any and listened too closely. That's the end of my hot feelings towards trance.
Anyway, I ended up being the one to decide on the chord progression. I ended up tossing over twenty versions of harmonies for the piano to TAKA. Even though I was just playing around with the piano, that's just what I would have expected from TAKA. It really ended up turning out as trance. That's awesome. He ended up being really useful. No, wait. Well, it's over it's over this is great this is great this is really great~.
... I thought at the end and ended up going a little overboard ... oh well.
So, the time I spent working on this piece actually seemed to go by really fast And it ended up being full of memories, that's really the power this song has ... I hope. Especially since life is full of memories of me being a pain to TAKA ... I hope not.
Is it a one-time legend? Will we have this chance again? I don't know what the chances are for this unit, but Hopefully we'll see you again sometime.
dj TAKA[]
There were a lot of things about me in the feedback for "Wish on the Stars", but the one that stood out the most ... "I want to see an orchestral trance fusion song by dj TAKA and wac."<ml> Come to think of it, we've been together for years, back when we were classmates together with our desks in a row; I don't think I could have ever imagined we'd be together in a situation like this ...
It seems like we've always been good at the things that the other was bad at for a long time, so I wonder if a lot of things were just inevitable. So, we decided we should give it a try.
I started laying rhythms and phrases over the chord progressions wac had determined earlier, and in response to that, wac would come up with piano solos ... and we went on like that, but he came up with so many things I would have never thought of, so I think this was a really good collaborative effort.
It was a lot of fun, and we made something really great, so I'd definitely do this again if we could get the chance. It'd be great to do this sort of thing with more people in the future, too.

I heard some ideas on what "anthem" means from both of them. They grinned a lot, but they never told me anything. What ... what is it with you people?
TAMA[]
Hmm, TAKAWAC ... I like the sound of that.
masaru[]
Trance and a mysterious melody ... it's irresistable.
Komori[]
So this is what you get when you combine TAKA and wac. Hmm, only MZD would be fitting.
Seiya Murai[]
It feels like someone went "How about this!" and took a giant swing to send it out flying into outer space!
mikoshiba[]
Hm, let's have a recital of dream idols, eh? It's just so great.
shio[]
Hyaa. It's surprisingly serious. It's kind of sudden, but it's nice. We can do it special just for this time. It's good for a co-starring event of sound directors. Best friends are great. It's full of the vastness of space and almost absent piano playing. You should listen to it with headphones. If you haven't bought the soundtrack yet, you should go buy it. Hm, this song is a little longer on the soundtrack, isn't it?
KAKKI[]
It's music for the ascension of a god! Feathers are falling down from the sky.
