Summer Evening (7PM) is a remix of 7PM, performed by Kazumi Totaka.

The speed of the song remains the same at 135bpm.

Summer Evening (7PM) is meant to create driven, rushed, yet serene atmosphere. The constant repeating piano and marimba notes produces a rhythmic, melodic progression, and the orchestral instruments such as the cellos and string ensemble that play on top tranquillises the environment for the listener. This, in turn, generates an oxymoron; is the song relaxing, foreboding, soothing, unsettling?

The introduction is completely made from scratch and is meant to create a gentle, easygoing environment for the listener, before having a flute introduce the listener to a sudden "foreboding" and "lost" atmosphere.

During the second part of the song, there are many improvisations particularly with the piano changing from its usual course of two notes to a new progression. Many percussion instruments and other orchestral instruments are added to accompany the piano to create a more "foreboding" or "relaxed" feeling (opinion dependent on the listener).
Added orchestral instruments are harsher and sharper, to intensify the feel.

Due to the fast pace of the song, I predict that this song may decrease the time taken to conduct the quiz. It is a possibility that the repeating notes may stimulate a faster productivity time.

 The introduction to the song

Repeating marimba notes

Piano improvisation. Has the same notes as the introduction.

The piano improvisations, where the main component of the song changes. It adds a new feel to the song, as if you either accomplished something or as if time is running out. There are new notes to accompany the finishing chords, as if this was the "proper", more signified ending.

 The string ensemble that adds a soft feel to the intense song. This part, however, gets "lost" in the second part of the song when the harsher, sharper instruments are introduced.
