* VIRTUAL MIND shares a sample with [[Hypnotica]], from [[AC GF|GUITARFREAKS]]. | |||
== | == Trivia == | ||
* According to Thomas Howard Lichtenstein, VIRTUAL MIND's original name was '''The Matrix''', and he wrote the lyrics to the song ''before'' the 1999 movie of the same name was released. KONAMI forced him to change the song title, since the movie was already released when VIRTUAL MIND appeared in Dance Maniax [https://youtu.be/g2eVNzSBWfo?t=1409]. | |||
* VIRTUAL MIND is a hidden song in beatmania IIDX 5th style. To play it, clear Dance Maniax crossover songs [[BROKEN MY HEART|Broken My Heart]], [[Kiss me all night long]], and [[Mobo Moga|Mobo☆Moga]] on the same credit. VIRTUAL MIND will then be playable on EXTRA STAGE. | |||
** VIRTUAL MIND crossing over marks Thomas Howard Lichtenstein and Jimmy Weckl's first appearances in the beatmania IIDX series. | |||
** It also marks Kazuhiro Senoo's only appearance in beatmania IIDX. | |||
* VIRTUAL MIND is used as the music of the intro movie in KONAMI's ''NBA 2Night 2002''. | |||
* VIRTUAL MIND was a hidden revival in [[AC GOLD|beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD]]. It could be unlocked by obtaining 1440 DJ POINTS. | |||
** It lost its overlays upon its revival. | |||
** As of April 25th, 2007 (beat #1), it is playable by default. | |||

==== Kaz Senoo ==== | |||
I treated Thomas' rap as another sound material and played around with it.<br> | |||
Also, I created the orchestra by freely cutting and pasting the guitar and bass performed by Jimmy Weckl.<br> | |||
I felt as if I was editing waveforms for a long time, but arranging it using such an approach was also fun. | |||
=== Dance Maniax === | |||
If you like digital music, this cyber-like number should be your first choice. This song mainly has a male rap. The barely intonated melody resembling symbols on a screen and echoed voices inserted in the latter half, gives the song a sense of a digital space with a wide, drifting feeling. Let's experience the endless possibilities within the DMX world, which is not bound by dance music. | |||

[[Keina Kanisawa|KANI]] and I listened to this song while saying "it's good!".<br> | |||
Repeatedly hitting. Randomly striking. There's a bit of shooting(?).<br> | |||
It's cool. Thomas' rap is the best!<br> | |||
There aren't many recent rap songs, but I'm addicted to this song.<br> | |||
A rare song in which the main characters from the animation and the music are synchronized.<br> | |||
Blinking hurts my eyes. My eyes need rest....... | |||
