New Alias!#
This column hasn't been updated for a long time (because a bunch of main organizers can really hold back!)
For those who don't know, this column provides some inspiration for songwriters and gives a glimpse into what songwriters usually think about for those who don't write songs. Next time, it should be turned into a video format.

All of the aliases for Peach Jar, except for Black201, are some kind of pseudonym for Chiyoda Momo, so
Spoiler alert, if you haven't finished reading the manga "Street Corner Demon Clan," please do not look at the content of this section, scroll down to the next divider or go read the
manga up to chapter 80.
Alright, having seen this, I assume you have confirmed that you have read the manga "Street Corner Demon Clan," because what I'm about to spoil is the biggest twist in this manga so far.
Let's talk about "Street Corner Demon Clan."
The biggest innovation of this manga is placing a richly developed worldview and profound story within a cute, light yuri setting. Of course, I won't delve deeply into the plot here; those interested in this series should definitely take it out separately for a good discussion.
Peach is not a native Neon Gold; most interpretations currently suggest that he was once a humanoid war machine born from some kind of human experimentation. Of course, we still don't know what exactly Peach experienced before being rescued by Miss Sakura.
operation 27 and The operation aim to explore such a story. Do you all remember when The operation first appeared?
All I Need, is Feeling Alive, and think about last year's "Waltz of The Witch."
Are you starting to feel something?
I want to treat Peach Jar as a slightly more profound group with some stories behind it. Or rather, a project. The operation represents my interpretation and speculation of this story, and of course, such theories can also be applied to other aliases. For example, this time's operation 27.
This alias, compared to The operation, can be described with one word:
Inorganic
If it is a humanoid war machine, shouldn't it be even less human?
I thought about this and fixed the alias operation 27. For the specific story of operation 27, you can follow the Electric Market in May this year, and by then, everyone might have a bit of understanding of what operation 27 means to me.
Before Virus#
Originally, I didn't plan to participate in this album, but then Kreuzwave's main organizer, Qilian, found me and said he wanted me to write a song.
The name "After Virus" makes it clear what it wants to express, but I was thinking of another kind of virus, namely a computer virus.
I suddenly found this interpretation very interesting! So, based on this theme, I chose the name of the first computer virus discovered by humans, "Elk Cloner," and wrote a Hi-tech Psytrance that fits the feeling of a computer virus to interpret this theme.
Elk Cloner#
The day after I finished this track, my computer hard drive exploded (in a sense, it fits the title very well), so I couldn't show you the project this time. Moreover, since four or five months have passed, I've forgotten many details of my project, so let me recall some things to share with you.
First, I sampled a lot of real computer malfunction sounds, and of course, I also made many myself, which are interspersed throughout the track. The human voice in the middle is a recording from the news reporting on this virus back in the day, which was heavily processed to become what it is now.
Of course, after Massage seat, I sampled "Street Corner Demon Clan" again, selecting parts from the first half of episode three of season two, where a computer idiot fiddles with various samples on the computer.
In the break, I unusually lowered the bass sound and added various computer malfunction sounds, indicating that the virus has penetrated deeper.
The rest consists of various resampling, adding various effects, twisting and turning in the resample. Writing this kind of music for the first time was indeed a brand new experience, very interesting. It's just a pity that I didn't have time to polish the details, but I'm quite satisfied with what the final product expresses.
After Virus
This time, I was also responsible for the mastering of the album. This song has been held back for a long, long, long time before being released. Once again, thanks to the designer, especially to Qilian, who designed this production for me.
I need to go for a walk now; see you next time when there's a new song!
