D4DJ is a content called "music media mix" that has been developed in various ways such as anime and games. It is a hot topic that a new anime series will be broadcast in 2023. The units in the work cover various songs as well as their own original songs. This time, I would like to introduce one cover song from each unit! You may know some of them!
Love Revolution 21 covered by Happy Around!
It's a song that makes you feel very nostalgic! Happy Around! covers Morning Musume's famous song "Love Revolution 21". I'm sure there were many people who copied and danced to the dance in the music video at the time. The good tempo of the original song remains the same, and the cover conveys the bright atmosphere of the members, including Rinku. This song and the DJ-style arrangement go very well together, and listening to it will make you feel like you're in the groove!
Pretender covered by Peaky P-key
I'm sure there are no people who haven't heard this song. It's that famous. Peaky-Pkey covers the classic Official Hige Dandism song "Pretender". Some people may have wondered whether Pretender and the DJ atmosphere would go well together, but there's no need to worry. When you listen to it, it actually matches the song very well, and it's a well-arranged arrangement with a good atmosphere. In particular, the scene where everyone sings the chorus is very cool. Peaky P-key's charm is that they can dye any song their own way.
HOT LIMIT covered by Photon Maiden
This summer is over, but what song comes to mind when you think of summer? What comes to mind varies from person to person, but many people may mention TM Revolution's "HOT LIMIT." The impact of the music video seems to have left an impression on many people. This song is covered by Photon Maiden. The uplifting summer song and the DJ's atmosphere go very well together, making for a highly polished song. By the way, the unit also covers "INVOKE." This is also recommended, so please give it a listen.
Realize covered by Merm4id
When you think of the Gundam series, what do you think of? For me, SEED is the most memorable. Mer4id covers the famous song "Realize" by Tamaki Namie, which is famous as the opening song of SEED. Originally, the songs sung by Tamaki Namie have a high affinity with DJs in terms of atmosphere. That's why the DJ-style cover arrangement matches perfectly. I'd love to see them cover other Gundam-related songs.
DESIRE-Passion- covered by Rinbukyoku (Rond)
It's a very nostalgic, old classic! Rinbukyoku (Rond) covers Akina Nakamori's "DESIRE-Passion-". The original song had a fast-paced and cool atmosphere, so the cover version doesn't lose its good points and is arranged to make use of Rinbukyoku's individuality. Rinbukyoku also has elements of a band, so you could say that its good points are utilized.
Love Story is Suddenly covered by Lirycal Lily
Following Akina Nakamori, Lyrical Lily has also covered Kazumasa Oda's "Love Story is Suddenly", an old classic. Some people may have thought, "DJ-style this song!?" I thought the same at first. However, as the saying goes, seeing is believing, so if you're interested, please give it a listen! Although the atmosphere of the song has changed significantly due to the DJ-style arrangement, the goodness of the song has not been lost. Rather, it has been arranged well like a futuristic love song. Like this song, I want to actively cover songs that are not related to DJs and arrange them into wonderful songs.
Cover Song Introduction Summary
How many of these songs do you know? There may be some of you who know them all. I hope you understand that there are many songs that can be arranged wonderfully when combined with DJing. There are many other cover songs, so if you are interested, please give them a listen!
