Hello. I'm C-Show. It's been quite a while since I first met Maozon, back in the same [[SOUND VOLTEX Information|SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR]] contest, and while we work for the same music production company, this is our first time collaborating, surprisingly.<br>
When we discussed about what kind of genre to make, we concluded that "it's not fun to make a normal drum'n'bass song".<br>
Maozon said "I want to do an old school song", and he did the first draft, however I wasn't used to this BPM, and Maozon worked on an effective, beautiful break where breakbeats were used abundantly and drops covered the confusion, so I struggled three times more than I imagined.<br>
Normally, when collaborating with others, I often leave the melody to them and instead focus on working on the drum and bass sounds, or I create the melody and my partner works on the arrangement.<br>
In this song, there are parts where our two melodies overlap each other, and I think it ended being a song with a big cooperative feeling.<br>
I incorporated sounds and rhythm patterns that are pretty much rare these days, but it certainly made me feel nostalgic as to when I was just starting out in DTM.
 
=== Maozon ===
Hello. I'm Maozon.<br>
As C-Show mentioned above, we were first accepted in SOUND VOLTEX FLOOR's [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]] song REMIX contest, and this is our first collaboration in the BEMANI series.
 
Well, this song is a collaboration with C-Show, and when I first discussed with him about what style of song should we go with, I suddently said "I want to do an old school song~", and C-Show agreed.
 
However, when I started working on my part, I thought "is it really necessary that this song has to be confined to an existing genre?", and while I changed direction, the rave stabs, piano backing, breakbeats, and other things remain from then.<br>
Then, I passed it to C-Show and he went wild.
 
The result is a type of song that each of us would not normally create.<br>
Breakbeats, dubstep, J-Core, various styles are mixed together.
 
This song is hard to describe with existing words, so I have taken the liberty of naming its genre CYBERCORE.
 
Please play it and enjoy!

In STEP UP from this game had Hearty as Q-pro, and I was secretly planning to have her appear again in a C-Show song that fitted her.<br>
So, this time we have Hearty going out to the club.<br>
Since this song is a collaboration with Maozon, I recruited Lavie, Hearty's friend, to join her in the movie.<br>
She likes an atmosphere reminiscent of the 90's... or whatever you call it, that's how she feels.
