Original text

他のバトル曲はエレキギター全開のものが多かったので、この曲はストリングスによるリフとスリリングなメロディを主役に、重い曲調ではなく軽やかでスタイリッシュなアプローチでと思い制作開始したのですが、熱い掛け声が飛び交うバトルをイメージしながら制作しているといつの間にかこのような形に。でも様々なブレイドが入れ替わりながら幾多の技を繰り出していく......そんな通常バトル曲としてはイメージ通りの仕上がりです!

The other battle themes have the electric guitars going full throttle, so in this one I wanted to go for a lighter, more stylish approach, using strings as the main instrument for the riffs and the thrilling melody. As I composed, though, I thought about the characters shouting at each other during a battle, and I ended up with something more like this. Although, when there’s a bunch of Blades switching in and out and tons of skills being thrown around... I think this is perfect for a normal battle theme!
