Early activities at Elements Garden

Daisuke Kikuta has been active since Elements Garden was established in 2004, engaging in composition, arrangement, and music production.

Melody and the singer's expression

Kikuta values the unique meaning he brings to his songs and hopes his works can provide singers with space for expression. His creations include melodies that fit the image, memorable melodies, and melodic lines with variations.

Blessed Campanella: Appointment and Meeting

While producing 'Blessing Campanella,' due to long-term collaboration with Windomiru and many commissioned tracks, Elements Garden members participated in joint meetings. Uematsu recalled that Kikuta, as a familiar arranger for the company, was confirmed to participate from the start.

Vocal arrangement and recording for games

When producing the opening theme for 'Shiro ni Dede Nikeriwa ga Koi wa,' Kikuta received a request from Japanese rock and proactively sought to participate. He hoped to enhance the harmony with the flute but carefully considered the melody when integrating it; After finishing, watching the opening sequence made by the song, he felt that the overall balance of vocals, lyrics, and music met his expectations.

The insert song "Live in Despair" from "コミュ" was affected by the need to connect with the game scenes, so Kikuta kept a longer introduction as required. He was the first to combine two male and two female vocal choruses; He felt that the frequency range difference between the chorus and Feilan's singing made the two harmonious, and also recalled that Feilan's recording progressed smoothly.

While recording the ending theme 'Takaramono' for 'Fukushi no Campanella', Kikuta suggested a rap-style interlude on site.

Sato Review's collaboration on the song of the same name

Hiromi Sato Memoir Production: 'Merry!' During the 'Merry-Go-Round,' he first used a demo-like voice to discuss arrangement, melody, and structure with Daisuke Kikuta; Other Elements Garden authors also participated in the audition and repeatedly offered their opinions.

Experience as a recording coach for "SNOW."

Kikuta recalled that when he took on the recording and vocal guidance for Hiromi Sato's album "Angelica" on "SNOW," he discovered the joy of vocal coaching and built confidence.

Personal new songs and visual music conceptions

When writing "Kibou Mai Road" for Megu Sakuragawa, Kikuta considered that the anthology would mainly feature PC game songs, so the new title track retained the familiar musical style framework and continued her existing musical image.

Kikuta also recalled that the producer repeatedly asked him to make the music conceptual more visual. In the interview, he explained that the rhythmic nodes and variations in the piece can inspire the team that later created the visuals.

Music learning and ringtone work

In high school, Kikuta used a computer to recreate songs by auditory input, and later began writing original songs, though they were not publicly released at the time. After graduating from high school, he entered a music vocational school and, through a teacher's introduction, joined the music studio where Noriyasu Uematsu originally belonged to to create mobile ringtones.

Learning during the assistant stage

When he first worked as an assistant, Kikuta hoped to pursue songwriting in the future, so he received Uematsu's guidance while observing his work and studies.

The musical direction of 'Technoloid'

Looking back, Kikuta recalled that Uematsu recognized his expertise in EDM and techno dance music and asked him to oversee the music production for "Technoloid." He first compiled "IDempty" to establish the basic direction, considering the use of PVs and the project's appearance, adopting mainstream, easy-to-remember writing methods.

The rock feel in electronic sounds

When producing for STAND-ALONE, Kikuta used heavier electronic sounds to create a rock feel without guitar, and also set the tempo to a relatively fast pace.

Vocal range and vocal arrangement

Speaking about the vocal range differences among singers in this project, Kikuta explained that he adjusts the vocal arrangement: in some places, harmonies are added to allow singers to reach a higher vocal range, while in others, singing together is chosen.

Gentlemanly sampling and vocal style

The gentleman's musical sections use brass sampling and piano sounds to create an acoustic texture, incorporating blues-style melodies; The vocals recorded various expressions such as whispers, so they used a wide range of tracks.

Written for continuous listening

Kikuta believes that Technoroid does not need to emphasize striking like rhythmic music games, so it focuses more on making the music suitable for long listening sessions.
