He cited the instrumental piece "Summer Shadow" from "AIR" as an example, emphasizing that besides expressing loneliness and sadness, the piece should also have a distinctive melody capable of carrying the singing power.

Angel Beats!: Soundtrack conception

According to the official music production column of Angel Beats!, Maeda hopes to incorporate minimalist and electronic music into the soundtrack, experimenting with highly individualistic works that emphasize sound itself as background music; ANAT-GARDE EYES is involved in realizing the sound direction accordingly.

Angel Beats!: Vocals and Characters

When LiSA recorded "Thousand Enemies," Maeda felt the work was too complete and didn't fit Yui's character, so she requested a reproduction of the singing style used during the selection process.
