Related productions of 'Flower Tales'
Shinichiro Matsumoto (love solfege) explained that he participated in the BGM production for the main theme and climax of "Tales of Flower Lovers," emphasizing the fusion of Japanese style with dramatic development.
Proposals and selections for the 20th anniversary album
Shinichiro Matsumoto recalled that in 2019, he sent a New Year's card to TEAM expressing hope for the release of an album for love solfege's 20th anniversary, and subsequently prepared production materials and commemorative music videos.
When editing the 2021 "Missa Precis," he decided to include works involving Hinako Konno that had not yet been included in her anthology, to highlight her inseparable creative relationship with the group.
Composing music according to the singing voice and the position of the work
The theme song for 'Taisho × Symmetry Alice HEADS & TAILS', 'Symphony in the Land of Looking-Glass,' leans more towards a brighter and trendier direction than the main theme; He retains a high register, hoping listeners can recognize Eiri Ayano by her voice.
After completing the music for "Floral・フローラブ," he took on additional commissions to produce the finale song "Let there be light," starting from the relaxed vocals of Mitsujo Nakae.
A musical style choice inspired by 'Beyond Fate.'
When Rita commissioned the song "Fate no Sono Sae e" for "Merkmal," there was no detailed set of style. According to her recollection, Shinichiro Matsumoto considered that other creators might take a stronger direction and proactively chose piano ballads.
Interviews during singer selection
Matsumoto recalled the selection before Manabe Aya joined in 2014, saying he talked with applicants one by one to understand how they viewed music and what potential they had, and then selected the singer from among them.
The end of the song and the listener's interpretation
Matsumoto reviewed the special page of "Requiem ~best Collection II.~" and noted that "0 no Kiseki" has two endings: one that clearly concludes and one that retains an unfinished feeling. He favored the latter more, hoping listeners could imagine the story themselves and understand the song's ending.
Harmony and musical style conception
When discussing "IKOVE," Matsumoto explained that he wrote using the muddy harmonies formed by adjacent notes sounding simultaneously, hoping to convey a sense of transparency during the continuous performance of the entire piece.
For "The Misty Black Smoke Blooms," he envisioned a bold yet cohesive approach, organizing the stories of characters on the old steamship into music.
Narrative imagery of adjacent times
Matsumoto starts from the "difference between adjacent things" and envisions how the slight deviation in time before and after in "Kaizai no Spiral" can lead to different developments.
