Song of the Week! 12 October 2019

To all the futurenauts coming across this page.. I dun goofed... again!

This week's originally-featured song was the Switch-debuting Vocaloid song Mirai; thing is, however, that we already talked about it under these lines... and not even 2 months prior! As we're truly sorry for the duplicate feature, here's a substitute piece to make up for that.

When we have to do some weekend additions/updates to some of our song list pages/main section features (such as long-delayed updates to song series showcases), we usually up and tide the wait with a really short feature to balance the act, mostly due to the topic being touched in another section of our blog. Imagine our surprise, then we find out, months later, that one of our filler picks was already promtly discussed in the past! In exchange for the duplicate Mirai Komachi song, here's another from the same Bandai Namco-proprietary Vocaloid.. deal or no deal?

Just as Mirai was made by a NAMCO SOUNDS talent as a release commemorative piece, future beat's raising grounds share the same nature, being created in order to celebrate the Vocaloid's one-year anniversary since her public release. From the song's official music video on Youtube, we come to know about the composer of this piece: the neo-hired Yusuke Yamauchi (山内祐介), under his 'Mifumei' (ミフメイ) alias. He started out as a minor composer at Capcom, for which he composed song for the company's pachinko machines between 2016-2017. Under Bandai Namco, he scored some works for recent titles in the company's franchises (Idolm@ster Cinderella Girls and Ace Combat 7) as well as the Nintendo Switch's Daemon X Machina.

It's a 1-year anniversary song, so all of its modes have a 1-star rating enhancements from Mirai! (minus Muzukashii, who got 2 more instead). While bearing, on the other hand, less notes than Mirai on Oni, the relentless procession of note clusters -as well as their several note combinations inside them- are what mark the slight difficulty jump from its predecessor.
