[AI Music] Behind the Scenes of "Munching Feast Time"
This is MeloCloud♬*°
This time, I will talk about the production background of my new song "Munching Feast Time" and the intention behind the lyrics :)
What I depicted in this song is,
the time when just eating your favorite things makes your day a little happier
.
Piping hot food.
Melting cheese.
Sweet desserts.
A dish that makes you want to take a picture of it on impulse.
I made this into a bright and warm song about the "delicious happiness" that exists not only on special days, but also in our casual everyday lives.
I would be happy if you read until the end♬*°

Production Background
The reason I decided to make "Munching Feast Time" was because,
I wanted to create background music that could be used when posting photos of food to SNS stories
I thought.
When you have delicious-looking food in front of you,
sometimes you just want to take a picture of it.Like when the presentation is beautiful.
Like steam rising from a dish.
Like cheese stretching out.
Like a dessert sparkling.
Including the excitement before eating, I want to capture that moment.
I think the reasons for taking photos,
"Look, doesn't this look delicious?"
the desire to share it with someone,
"I ate this today,"
and the desire to keep it as a memory, both exist.
So this time,
from the thrill before eating to the moment of savoring the last bite,
I packed the joy of a meal into a single song.
It's not that some grand story unfolds.
It's just eating what you love.
Thinking it's delicious.
Smiling.
It is a work that straightforwardly depicts that simple happiness.
About the title
The title "Mogu Mogu Feast Time" was chosen,
with the intention of immediately conveying the joy of having a meal in front of you.
The word "mogu mogu" (munch munch) feels like it encompasses
not just the act of eating,
but also the appearance of being absorbed in the taste and even a happy expression.
Also, the "feast" in this song
does not necessarily refer only to high-end cuisine.
It is whatever you felt like eating that day.
It is whatever makes you smile the moment you eat it.
It is whatever you want to give yourself as a reward for your hard work.
The favorite dish for each person
becomes their "feast" for that day.
I chose this title so that people could enjoy
the time spent eating itself as something a little special.
About the protagonist
The protagonist of this song
is a girl who loves to eat.
When she has food in front of her,
she first enjoys the look and the smell.
She finds herself wanting to take a picture,
and while she hesitates about where to start eating,
she already cannot stop smiling.
I have depicted a character
who can truly enjoy her mealtime like that.
However,
I have not decided on detailed settings,
such as her being a particularly big eater or being knowledgeable about cooking.
She is someone who, when faced with something she likes,
can honestly be happy and say, "That looks delicious."
The moment she takes a bite,
she gets a look of pure happiness.
I portrayed her as that kind of approachable girl.
For the protagonist, a meal
is more than just filling an empty stomach.
It's about lifting your spirits on a tiring day.
It's about sharing a fun time with someone.
It's about making you,
like today just a little bit more.
It is a moment of small happiness,
found in everyday life.
The atmosphere of the song
In this song,
I focused on creating an atmosphere like a warm and cozy cafe.
Soft electric piano.
Gentle acoustic guitar.
Light, airy beats.
I centered it around calm and bright sounds,
that don't disturb the time spent enjoying a meal.
Rather than a song that is full of boisterous energy,
I aimed for a brightness that makes you feel naturally uplifted,
when you have a meal right in front of you.
Also,
"piping hot"
"fluffy"
"Fizzy"
"Melty"
I used many words like these, and
not just the appearance of the food, but also
temperature.
texture.
sound.
aroma.
I packed the lyrics with the various joys you feel when eating.
Just by listening,
you'll want to eat something delicious.
I created this song hoping it would be just that.
Intent of the lyrics
Munch munch, I'm eating
Feast time
My tummy is rumbling
A sign of happiness
At the beginning,
I depict being hungry
not as a state where you have to endure something,
but as a signal that you are about to eat something delicious.
Your stomach rumbles.
You think about what you want to eat.
You wait for the food to arrive.
The joy of a meal begins
even with those moments.
I expressed "my stomach is rumbling"
as a sign that happiness is approaching.
Open the lid and a lovely scent
Today's mood starts to bounce
Beyond the steam, sparkling
A delicious premonition is waiting
The moment you open the lid of a dish.
Before you even see it,
a warm scent spreads out.
When the food comes into view beyond the steam,
even though you haven't eaten yet,
your heart already starts to bounce.
In this part,
not just the moment you eat,
the sense of anticipation when the food is right in front of you
is what I am depicting.
"It's definitely going to be delicious"
The time spent waiting for that first bite while thinking that
is also part of feast time.
Take a photo, snap
On the table, a cheerful day
I'm not sure where to start eating
But the smiles won't stop
When the food in front of you is attractive,
before you start eating right away,
there are times you want to take a picture.
The very reason for creating this song
was to make a song that could be used when posting photos of food to SNS,
so
the act of "taking a photo"
is an important element in the work as well.
I want to show that deliciousness
to someone else too.
I want to save the meals I enjoyed,
so I can look back on them later.
In the photos,
both of those feelings are captured.
Even the time spent wondering where to start eating,
is fun for the protagonist.
I depicted how just looking at the food,
is enough to make them smile.
Hot and fluffy
Sweet and salty
With every bite I take
My happiness meter goes up
Here,
instead of explaining the appeal of food with difficult words,
I have lined them up with sensory words.
Heat.
Softness.
Sweetness.
Saltiness.
Every time I bring food to my mouth,
various flavors and textures spread out.
In the phrase "happiness meter",
I included the feeling that every time you eat something delicious,
your mood gradually improves.
Even without anything special happening,
just the deliciousness of a single bite,
can make you feel better.
I am expressing that kind of simple and honest happiness.
Munching feast time
Let's fill up our stomachs and hearts
If we smile while eating
We'll like today a little bit more
What I wanted to convey most with this song was,
Eating is happiness
That is a very simple feeling.
It is not just your stomach that gets filled by a meal.
The satisfaction of eating something you love.
The joy of choosing what to cook.
The sense of relief when you can take a breath.
When those things layer together, even your heart feels a little more full.
Even on a day when things didn't go well,
if you can smile while eating something delicious, you might just be able to like today a little bit more.
I don't mean that a meal has the power to solve everything.
It's just that,
I depict mealtime as something that adds a little bit of happiness to your day.
Munching away, feast time
I want to deliver it through the camera too
The excitement of this one plate
Let's make it a memory of today
Taking photos involves,
a desire to share with someone, and a desire to keep it as a memory for yourself.
You cannot fully convey the taste or aroma of a dish through a photo.
Even so,
The colorful presentation.
The rising steam.
The melting cheese.
The sparkling dessert.
If it's the excitement felt in that moment,
perhaps I can share it just a little.
The protagonist is
not just recording the food.
Including the happy feelings of that time,
they are trying to capture it all in a single photo.
Munching and smiling
Eating happily
Putting our hands together
Come on, let's eat
Here,
I expressed the honest joy of being in front of a meal
using short, easy-to-remember words.
When you eat something delicious,
you naturally start to smile.
With every bite you take,
you feel happy.
And,
before you start eating, you put your hands together.
Including gratitude for the food,
I am depicting a warm scene
of someone trying to enjoy the meal that is about to begin.
Melting cheese, every time it stretches
my excitement rises too
Every time there's a crunchy sound
it's happiness deep in my ears
The appeal of food
is not just the taste.
The way the cheese stretches long.
The crunchy sound
when you bite into the crust or dough.
Including the look and the sound,
I think eating is a fun thing.
Especially,
the moment the cheese stretches, or
the sound that conveys a pleasant texture,
are scenes you can't help but want to capture in photos or videos.
In this part,
I depicted the protagonist enjoying the meal with their whole body,
including sight and sound.
Cold glass, sparkling
Sweet dessert, waiting
The last bite, just a little more
I find myself wishing it wouldn't end
At the end of the meal,
a sweet dessert awaits.
The cold glass and
the light-reflecting dessert
are like a small reward
to cap off the meal.
However,
the more fun the time, the more you hate to see it end.
Once you eat that last bite,
feast time will be over.
That is why,
I want to savor it just a little longer.
I don't want it to end just yet.
That is how I feel.
Even though my stomach is full,
I want the fun time to last just a little longer.
I am depicting that feeling of reluctance to let go.
Cold and sparkling
Fizzy and melting
I want to gather
only the things I love
Here,
the protagonist is freely gathering
the characteristics of the foods they love.
Cold things.
Sparkling things.
Fizzy things like carbonation.
Things that melt in your mouth.
There are no rules for genres or combinations.
Depending on how I feel that day,
I want to gather the things I love.
The shape of a feast is not something
for someone else to decide,
it can be whatever makes you happy.
I have poured that feeling into it as well.
Munch munch, feast time
Every bite makes it more fun
Nom nom, with a bouncing heart
I'm starting to like today even more
In the first chorus,
I sang,
"I'm starting to like today a little."
Here,
it has changed to
"I'm starting to like today even more."
The anticipation before starting to eat
turns into certain happiness through the actual tasting.
With every bite taken,
the protagonist's mood
also gradually brightens.
I depicted how enjoying a meal
leads to affirming the day itself.
Munch munch, feast time
I want to eat with everyone
Sharing the delicious feelings
Let's make it a memory of today
While it is wonderful to take time to enjoy delicious food alone,
eating with someone else
can also expand the joy.
"This is delicious, isn't it?"
Sharing the same feeling.
Seeing someone else happy
makes me happy too.
Beyond just sharing through photos,
next time, I want to sit around the same table.
I am depicting that kind of feeling.
In this song, a meal
is not just about filling your stomach,
but also serves as a catalyst for sharing fun times with others.
On days that went well,
or days when I feel a bit tired,
for myself who has made it this far,
let's treat myself to something I love.
This part
is a lyric I cherish throughout the entire song.
On days that went well,
as a celebration for myself for doing my best.
On days when I'm tired,
as a reward for myself for getting through the day.
On either day,
it's okay to have a reason to eat something you love.
It's not only on days when you achieve great results
that you can receive a reward.
The fact that you've lived until today.
The fact that you've finished the day.
That alone
is enough reason to treat yourself to something you love.
Through meals,
I poured in the feeling of cherishing yourself a little bit.
Munching away, feast time,
let's stuff ourselves with happiness.
Just by being able to say it's delicious,
tomorrow will be a little more fun.
Just because you ate something delicious,
it doesn't mean everything will go well starting tomorrow.
However,
"That was delicious"
if you have a moment where you can think that,
you might be able to look forward to tomorrow a little bit.
What shall I eat next?
Let's go to that shop again.
Next time, let's eat with someone.
The joy of a meal,
becomes a small strength to move on to the next day.
I am depicting such positive feelings.
Munch munch, feast time
Savoring the very last bite
I want to eat this again, this feeling
Let's make it a memory of today
The last bite,
is the end of the meal.
That is precisely why,
instead of eating in a hurry,
savor it thoroughly,
and keep that time in your heart.
Thinking "I want to eat this again"is not just because the food was delicious.
It is because you want to experience it once more,including the fun you felt at that time and the time spent with the person you were with.
It is because you want to taste it again.
Both in photos and in memories,
this is a scene of leaving today's feast time behind.
This is a scene of capturing today's feast time.
Munch munch, I ate it all
My tummy is full
What should the next feast be?
Having finished eating, the protagonist is
full in both body and spirit.
However,
rather than ending the story completely here,
they immediately begin thinking about the next feast.
The joy of eating
is not a one-time thing.
Today is for today's feast.
Tomorrow,
another delicious treat will be waiting.
I depicted the happiness of eating, including the time spent thinking about what to eat next.
About the MV
This song
was born from the idea of wanting to create background music that can be used when posting photos of food to social media stories.
as a concept.
Because of that, the MV
is also structured to look like you are browsing Instagram story posts.
On the screen,
photos of food, as if taken by the protagonist,
are displayed one after another.
What appears
is food that makes you want to take a picture on impulse.
Rising steam.
Stretching cheese.
Beautifully plated desserts.
A sparkling drink.
A dish so vivid you can almost imagine its aroma and texture.
Along with photos of the food,
the lyrics are displayed as if they were social media posts.
By overlapping the song's lyrics with the words the protagonist posts,
we aimed to create a video that better conveys
the joy of enjoying each and every dish.
Also,
instead of just lining up photos,
we included scenes where the protagonist smiles before the meal.
This is to express not only the deliciousness of the food itself,
but also the excitement of having it in front of you,
and the happiness of the moment you take a bite.
Throughout the entire music video, what we kept in mind was,
to make it a video that makes the viewer think,
I want to eat something delicious,
as well.
When posting photos of food on social media.
When you want to keep the food you ate today as a memory.
When you are a little tired and
want to give yourself a treat.
In such moments,
I would be happy if you could enjoy this song along with them.
Full lyrics
Munch munch, I'm eating
Feast time
My tummy is rumbling
A sign of happiness
A lovely scent when I open the lid
Today's mood is bouncing along
Sparkling beyond the steam
A delicious premonition is waiting
Snap a photo, click
A happy day on the table
I can't decide where to start eating
My smile just won't stop
Hot and fluffy
Sweet and salty
Every time I take a bite
My happiness meter goes up
Munch munch, feast time
Let's fill up both tummy and heart
Nom nom, when I smile
I start to like today a little more
Munch munch, feast time
I want to share it through the camera too
The excitement of this plate
Let's make it a memory of today
Munch munch, smile smile
Nom nom, happiness
Put your hands together
Now, let's eat
Every time the melted cheese stretches
My excitement goes up too
Every time it makes a crunchy sound
It's happiness deep in my ears
A cold glass sparkling
Sweet dessert is waiting
The last bite, just a little more
I find myself wishing it wouldn't end
Cold and sparkling
Fizzy and melty
Only the things I love
I want to collect them all
Munch munch, feast time
It gets more fun with every bite
Nom nom, with a bouncing heart
I start to like today even more
Munch munch, feast time
I want to eat with everyone
Sharing the delicious feelings
Let's make it a memory of today
On days when things went well
And on days when I'm a bit tired
For myself who made it this far
Let's treat myself to what I love
Munch munch, feast time
Let's stuff ourselves with happiness
Just by saying it's delicious
Tomorrow will be a little more fun too
Munch munch, feast time
Savoring the very last bite
I want to eat this again, this feeling
Let's make it a memory of today
Munch munch, I ate it all
My tummy is full
What should the next feast be?
Finally
Thank you for reading until the end♬*°
"Mogu Mogu Feast Time" is,
I wanted to create BGM that can be used when posting photos of food to SNS stories
This is a work born from that small idea.
However,
as I wrote the lyrics,
rather than just introducing dishes,
the happiness that eating itself holds
became the theme of the song.
The excitement of the moment you see the food.
The thrill of wanting to capture it in a photo.
The deliciousness of the very first bite.
The joy of sharing those feelings with someone.
The slightly bittersweet time
of eating the very last bite.
I have packed all those little joys found in a meal
into this one song.
On days when things went well.
On days when you feel a little tired.
You can treat yourself to something you love
for getting through the day.
If you can smile after eating something delicious,
you might come to like today a little more,
and look forward to tomorrow a little bit too.
I hope this song
can become a BGM that makes your feast time
just a little more enjoyable :)
