In collaborating with mega, we decided to have a BPM with some tension. Not just 200, but 202, since we wanted to add a bit of emotion to the song. The artist title for the song (sampling masters MEGA vs. Seiryu) implies that there will be a battle, so we added the vocal samples to make it sound that there were two groups battling each other. In this sense, the theme of "battle" fit well for DJ TROOPERS.
