Production and performance
"Witch's Love Diary Dragon×Caravan" :P original background music for C.
Start by writing lyrics to find the song's perspective
When Higuchi recalled "As Always," he first constructed the world with lyrics, then added melody and harmonies. After writing stalled, he discovered the perspective of the protagonist writing love letters to the female lead from his notes.
Divided into two pieces based on the mixed concept
"Serious Complex" originally commissioned as a single-track opening theme. Higuchi tried mixing ballads with comedies, but later decided to separate them and completed two theme songs within a single budget.
Confirm the sound direction of the theme song
Before producing 'Yasashii Sekai wo Kimi ni,' he first confirmed and corrected his understanding of the battle song. The composition revolves around gentleness and mystery, borrowing visual associations from Babel and Mont-Saint-Michel, and avoiding a musical direction as needed.
The ending is conceived with a lullaby
"The Dream You See" is conceptualized from reading the script, with lullabies as the direction, piano as the main accompaniment, and the chorus elevated by orchestral parts.
Jointly understanding the commissioning of the soundtrack
The music production for "Don't Step on Angel's Wings" repeatedly revolves around "normal" communication. Higuchi believes that the most difficult part of meetings, specifications, and rework is getting both sides to share their understanding of this direction.
Arranged in the style of Sugar Court Freaks
Higuchi first wrote the lyrics and then composed the music for the ritual scene of "Konaru Edda." Originally, there was only one song commissioned, and since the game needed a quieter atmosphere, a chorus-only "VOICE" arrangement was added.
When making "Celestial Globe," Higuchi aimed for scenes of the two gazing at the starry sky from a rooftop and Tamahime opening up slightly, first writing lyrics from a female perspective before completing the song.
Higuchi once discussed lyrics with Littlewitch staff: first determining the time, season, and other conditions like stage scenery, then developing emotions within them; If you want to switch scenes, you must first provide a reason.
The "Celestial Globe" was initially written for over nine minutes, with the trial version using a shorter version; Higuchi did not release the full version until 2019, with 'White-Lips Vocal Collection 3.'
When Higuchi named "Love Chain," he envisioned couple necklaces and a connection stronger than red strings; Later, I learned that the plant with the same name was not originally named after a plant.
Love Chain was the first to attempt to add delay to the snare drum and split it into left and right channels. It mixes with the side-mounted guitar and keyboard, and Higuchi repeatedly adjusts the overall balance so that each instrument can be clearly heard throughout.
When producing this song, the original notebook ran out of memory. Higuchi connected it to a new desktop with 12GB of memory via VIENNA ENSEMBLE PRO, continuing to operate on the laptop and load instrument sounds into the desktop; This was his first track performed using that environment.
I wish's voice and recorded vocals
The direction of "I wish" came from both commission requests and Higuchi's interest in dubstep at the time. He incorporated elements of this style into the grand chorus, calling it an experiment with the dubstep style.
"I wish" continues the multi-track recording he began with "Bouquet": according to his recollection, four tracks were recorded on each side of the vocal part, placed on the left and right sides to increase width and thickness.
Higuchi finished the music for "I wish" first, then wrote the lyrics; This differs from the order in which he wrote lyrics first for pieces like "Celestial Globe Instrument"; he chose two processes based on specific needs.
