The wonderful 80’s...always remain in our minds.

This track was set as the genres series marathon that played by synth, but it changed once the structure defined. It’s like a long story which has might history. This WAS the longest track, but surpasses by “Revolution Now” later.

Although it’s a theme for the 80’s, the main genre is Synthwave which is known as retro and highly related to 80’s, it still matches the theme. (I’d prefer Synthpop but I found it more properly with Synthwave!)

At the intro, I want to create a dreamland. Originally I wanted to combine Synthwave with New Age, but I found that all the sounds could also make Jazz, so I turned it to Jazz instead! This is the first time I make some Jazz form. I want to make it such like “Vince Guaraldi - Rain, Rain Go Away”, but I didn’t take reference particularly, so it sounds different. I’d prefer to compose it as Free Jazz, to make it brisk, free and unrestrained!

When it goes to verse, it switches to Synthwave instantly, would be abrupt but it doesn’t. The synth of verse and chorus set as overlapping and profound, to make the story sounds mighty and saturated. The frequently changing, non-repeatitive melody implies the pushing of the history, it changes every time. At the situation that the other tracks can only put a few, I used the tom-tom drum insanely! Tom tom tom tom drum!

At the closing part, there has a long buffer time. At first I set it as the moment waiting until the end, but I occasionally thought of improvised piano Jazz putting here as the recall of the intro. Because of the improvisation, the melody is more densive compared to normal melody, it kinda feel long to compose this part…almost twice time longer! At the rhythm of the Jazz melody, I referenced the radio track “Unsuccessful Huniwa (出来損ないのハニワ)” from the game “Choro Q HG2” that composed by BUN (田辺文雄). I really like his music, this track is in the leisurely mood while loitering outside in the silent night under the moonlight!

The ending sounds a little sad, but it doesn’t exactly such like that. It’s about the feel that the story had perfectly ended…seems ironic when looking the title, but would the luxury go endless…right?
