KOJI10, コジ10, Ep.21, June 9, 2025. Daichi Miura’s DS2 Music

 Finished red carpet in LA. Next I need to go to Australia. Still not finished  making the final trailer. I might make it on the airplane. Take pics of hints, then arrange the trailer in my head, and finally pit it together as soon as I get Back. Wow, he’s always thinking of putting things together. it will be an expecting as well as a betrayal theme. What’s he doing ?!? Kind of a trailer. It might change, but that’s what’s on my mind right now.

5:00 Today Daichi Miura will visit us.

First a bit about Woodkid, main theme, is about 10 versions will be available. 2020 I was able to meet him at a hotel lobby on my last day. He allowed me to listen to Urayas for his own CD. and it was a great song, we used on DS1 directors cut. PV. He made one more song, and we used Zoom. Eventually I asked him to make song for DS2. 

Grayas PV was similar to DS, and I felt scary, so we agreed on the scary feelings. Ha ha. 

DS2 song was made in the Tokyo office, about 4-5 years ago. We made it together. With collaboration. I showed him what I wanted, and the next day he had made it. Ha ha. 

I can’t make the music first. So he was very helpful. Before the orchestra music was made, We were able to play his music while making DS2. I would give hime a general theme, and for which scene, or change an arrangement for the final song. 

11:00 like top gun, I wanted: sound to continue while the scene takes place, not just in certain scenes. I wanted musical sound Even during slow motion scenes while playing the game. It was quite difficult.

Normally a player wants to finish the delivery, so the music will end as the delivery nears. However, I wanted to be able to keep the music going even if a player stopped and rested. We used loops.

🎵 Woodkid - To the Wilder. Main theme for DS2.

12:30 Next let’s discuss Silent Poets. Shimoda Michiharu’s slow project. Dubbing sound, released at a global level. 1992 debut of cinematic sounds. 2018 an album released the album: Hope Chariot, I Plead, featuring Tim Smith. is a song used in DS2. So about Silent Poets, can you tell us about them? Well I had a connection with Shimoda. We had some delicious catering from his wife’s restaurant, Lovender. Once I received a CD from him with a new song. I didn’t know he was a musician. It was a great sound I wanted to use for the ending. Coronavirus happened. Then this time, he wrote another new song for me. It will come out soon. 

You have a lot of connections. Engine, cast, musicians, staff. I still had these connections after changing work. So it was convenient to continue. 

Raimunda Catering Service (ライムンダ・ケータリング・サービス), we have a party connections. They make our cakes and catered lunches.. They are really tasty! I scan them, and it ended up in the game. 

🎵 Silent Poets, Chariot, I Plead, featuring Tim Smith.

17:00 Welcome Daichi Miura ! 6.26: Horizon Dreamer and Polytope songs. So this time we will enjoy talking about DS2 songs. How did you meet? Since 2018, we have eaten meals together & live near eachother. Birthdays are 8.24. We talked about a song called, Tairan.  We have lots of similar connections. Miura is really good at the game, music and dance themes.  He will have 2 songs along with dance & scans. They take some time to compliment eachother about their abilities. 

21:30 Two new songs, and scanned dance.

( Pixelated? )…not sure. 

22:30 the video will be for an important scene. Once you hear the song in the game, you will be able to hear it whenever you want while playing the game. The video will be a 360° viewable. It’s an interesting dance style so I wanted to see it from all angles. If you look carefully, you might be able to see Sam enjoying the show. They discuss some video making details, clothing texture, etc. face scan, reference pics, animation style, non suited dance, etc. 

23:00  So your new song, 🎵 Low a men , single for DS2.  Was also made with Mr. Kojima. 

🎵 Horizon Dreamer was made as Miura’s song. 

27:00 One more song, 🎵 Polytope, made as a collaboration with Mr. Kojima for DS2. The process for making both songs was very different. 

28:30 As a fan, is there anything you want to ask Mr. Kojima? 

Not on air. Sometimes I’m listening to him talk, and realize, oh, did he say something important word? LOL. Sneaky. What’s he thinking about? 

29:30 Mr. Miura, as an artist what do you think about the game’s music? I’m in awe of the selection and message sent to the world thru the music. The sudden pull of the music in a scene, is a specialty of Mr. Kojima. 

31.00 Games until now have had boring music.p. I wanted to improve. Well, like Tom & Jerry animation, I wanted that kind of music. I wanted the artist’s program. And it to be Artist based. 

33:30 🎵 Polytope video debut on 6.26 The harmonica at the end was Daichi’s idea. I think people around the world will enjoy this song. It’s a very sad song.

35:00 Today you also brought Miura/Kojima collaboration goods. Yes, it’s a Dollman keychain with Daichi’s face on it. And a t-shirt. These will be sold at Shibuya Parco pop up store. 

37:20 Any last message? I’m really happy with Mr. kojima’s game creation, and am really looking forward to it. He has so many original ideas in it. Mr. Miura’s Horizon is also Kojima’s Horizon.
