■“Through this video, I hope you will enjoy the world view woven by music and nature.” (INI/Daimu Takatsuka)
“STRIDE”, arranged by INI’s Daimu Takatsuka (“Taka” is officially spelled Hashigodaka), was released on the member-produced project “INI STUDIO” on INI’s official YouTube channel.
“INI STUDIO” is content that INI members themselves plan and transmit what they want to express. Utilizing the individual skills and individuality honed through group activities, they deliver songs and videos in various forms.
“STRIDE” is a song included in INI’s 3rd single “M”. It is a bright and refreshing song, and features positive and encouraging lyrics.
The sound source produced by Takatsuka retains the original dance and pop sounds, while creating an arrangement that combines the essence of warm acoustic and medium rock, with soft guitars and a gentle rhythm session, creating a more relaxed atmosphere than the original, but still powerful. The song is finished in a way that conveys a message.
In addition, in order to express the worldview of the song, this video fully incorporates nature, such as the refreshing singing in the forest, the chirping of birds, and scenes of light shining through the trees, so that it can be visually relaxing. It became a work of art.
■Daimu Takatsuka comment
Following “Busterz” which was previously released (July 31, 2024), this is the second self-cover of INI songs! This time, “STRIDE” was arranged and created to serve as the signature song for the solo stage “LAPOSTA 2025 SHOW PRODUCED by TAKATSUKA HIROMU “Echoes.”” to be held on January 27th. We hope that even those who cannot attend the live performance on the day of the event can enjoy the world view of music and nature through this video.
