Song Production Information

dj TAKA

It's a song made from the idea of nice groovy HIP HOP.
HIP HOP is probably the most difficult genre in the beatmania series.
I tried to assign the scratches so they can be used as scratches in this song, so everyone please arrange the cool song with cool ad-lib scratch play even more!
Also, there are lots of hidden samples assigned to the keys in this song that aren't used in the gameplay. Try and find them~.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

We filmed this movie on a Saturday at the height of summer in August.
For dj TAKA and the DAY BREAKERS (VJ GYO + GOLI), this was a memory of that one summer in 1999 (Those memories that come with an illustrated diary).
It started rather unplanned, us taking turns dancing around the camera, but the cameraman ran over and appeared!
His name is RYO, who is familiar to pop'n music fans!
Eventually, he was in charge of the whole shoot as the de-facto supervisor (Thank you very much).
Halfway through filming, dj nagureo and KAERU (beatmania 5thMIX CG designer) also ran in to support us, and thanks to everyone, we successfully completed it in a groovy, weird upper state.
That night, the three of us said, "I wish I could spend every day like this", and the greatest, happiest day was over.
By the way, our director KAGE happened to be on vacation that day. (Well, it was supposed to be a holiday, but...)
When I went to work, I was supposed to perform with all my strength, I'm sorry.
