Song Production Information

DJ SIMON

I made this song about two years ago, so it feels somewhat nostalgic.
Given that it's the ending, I initially made up some music that had nothing to do with the game, but I think it ended up sounding rather like my own music.
I learned a lot through my involvement in beatmania.
Thank you.

Video Production Information

None.

Truth is, I worked really hard on this song...
First, it started with digging up very old data; when I finally found it, it was in an old format, so I spent an entire day recreating the audio...
After having done all of that work, I finally created the game data.
Since you made so many requests about wanting to play the song in-game, I'd be all the more pleased if you could enjoy it.
Next time, I'll get SIMON to comment on this song, if possible.
