A Shot of Crisis

General Information[edit]

Areas Played: Blackbird, Factory, Guardia Castle
Composed by: Yasunori Mitsuda
Original Japanese Title: 危機一髪 / Kikiippatsu
Time Signature: 4/4

Mitsuda recounted: [About "A Shot of Crisis"] "It's difficult to make a loop with a crash cymbal, but the crash cymbal in Chrono Trigger is a special way of making a loop by reversing half of it and mixing it, and then making a loop between the overlapping sounds (so that it becomes uniform). When I joined the company, I was a manipulator, so I liked thinking about things like that. Now, I don't need these techniques (laughs).

"Actually, there was a good chance that I wouldn't have been in charge. However, the other writers were all busy, so I think it became a case of "we have no choice but to let Mitsuda do it." Either way, it was fate."
