The song reflects the strange, close-yet-distant relationship between Momo and Okarun, as well as the wacky world filled with various life forms. The melody was crafted with a nostalgic 2000s Heisei-era sound in mind. Imagine a tune that could have played as a ringtone on an old feature phone.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>One of the last verses in the song is \u201cTatakai \/ Deai \/ Kirai \/ Ai.\u201d What prompted the selection of these four words for the verse, aside from their rhyming nature?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>WurtS: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think of <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DAN DA DAN <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">as a love story. Characters you initially see as enemies can become allies, and those who seem strong and scary often carry intense backstories. I feel that all the characters are either fighting something or carrying a burden that makes them stronger. \u201cTatakai \/ Deai \/ Kirai \/ Ai\u201d (Fighting \/ Meeting \/ Hating \/ Loving) are all things that help you grow stronger, and I believe they can\u2019t exist without someone or something to face.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n <iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WurtS\uff62\u3069\u3046\u304b\u3057\u3066\u308b\uff63 \u00d7 TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u300e\u30c0\u30f3\u30c0\u30c0\u30f3\u300f Special Music Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/PPpirB1gfzY?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>Which verse in the song was the trickiest to come up with, and why?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>WurtS: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I experimented with the vocal style of this song many times. I tend to sing in a downbeat style, so while I wanted to convey something powerful and optimistic, like Okarun after his transformation, I also wanted to retain a touch of negativity. I struggled to balance the phrasing and energy so the singing wouldn\u2019t feel too bright or too dark.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>What are your thoughts on the ending animation for <\/b><b><i>DAN DA DAN<\/i><\/b><b> Season 2 and how it pairs with your song?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>WurtS: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">To me, the ending animation offers a sense of fantasy. While the opening sparks the start of the story, the ending helps ease the tension and captures the lingering feeling after the story. I love how the <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">DAN DA DAN <\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">characters dance joyfully at a cultural festival, paired with my upbeat, slightly nostalgic sound. It releases the tension while amplifying the lingering joy, which I really enjoy.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\">\n<p>\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"WurtS\uff62\u3069\u3046\u304b\u3057\u3066\u308b\uff63 \u00d7 TV\u30a2\u30cb\u30e1\u300e\u30c0\u30f3\u30c0\u30c0\u30f3\u300f Collaboration Music Video\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/we3tmndN4Es?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/p>\n<\/figure>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>Are there any artists or experiences that have deeply influenced your creative vision and sound?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>WurtS: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">When I first started as WurtS, I was making a lot of dance music, so I studied artists like <\/span><b>Avicii <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">and <\/span><b>Zedd<\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">. As a result, my music often focuses on the satisfying feeling of loops. In <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u201cDoukashiteru,\u201d <\/span><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I used a similar approach, gradually changing a simple melody to make it feel as if the story is unfolding.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>For those who are discovering you through \u201cDoukashiteru,\u201d what would you like to tell them about yourself and your style?<\/b><\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-size: 12pt\"><b>WurtS: <\/b><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">I think my music always blends the nostalgic with the new.
