It's mid-tempo big beat.<br>
Throughout the song, it feels like a trance into the Arabian spiritual world.<br>
This song has a rather cool finish.<br>
If you're a IIDX techno fan, I'm sure you'll like it!<br>
What do you think of the note patterns in the middle of the song, which no one has ever thought of before!?


Commentary by [[Takayuki Ishikawa|dj TAKA]]:
== CS Information Data ==
=== DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution- ===
You have unlocked the song "Electro Tuned(the SubS mix)" by TaQ. This song is packed with awesome breakbeat sounds straight from the underground dance scene.


This is mid-tempo big beat. It feels like trance music from an Arabian point of view. This song is really cool. I think the IIDX techno fans will really like it! What do you think of the note sequence in the middle of the song!?
== Video Production Information ==
=== VJ GYO ===
This song's movie is a generic video shared with new techno songs, but GOLI put a lot of pressure on me to make it look like something that would play at an actual club event, so I took on the challenge and made this ambitious work to take away my worries.<br>
The material was not designed to be controlled in real time by the player like a real VJ, nor were specifically done for any song or tempo, so we put some thought into how to take them and finish it in a distinctive fashion.<br>
Even the talented but harsh GOLI was convinced (he even created the typography and is a very nice person).<br>
I certainly think it was finished with a rather edgy image for an arcade game.

== Difficulty & Notecounts ==
beatmania IIDX difficulty rated 1 to 7 in 2nd style through 4th style, 1 to 7+ in 5th and 9th style, 1 to 8 in 10th style, 1 to 8+ in 11 IIDX RED, and 1 to 12 from HAPPY SKY onward.<br>
DanceDanceRevolution difficulty from the original game to 2ndMIX rated from 1 to 8, 2ndMIX CLUB through 5thMIX (and the Solo games) rated from 1 to 9, 1 to 10 from DDRMAX2 to SuperNOVA2, and 1 to 20 from X onwards. (Ratings and notecounts obtained from [http://bemaniwiki.com/ BEMANIWiki 2nd].)


The video for this song is a generic video for our techno songs. GOLI put a lot of pressure on me to make it feel like something that would actually play at a club event, so I wanted to come up with a challenge to take away my worries. We had materials for the animations that come up through the song, controlled in realtime by the player like a real VJ, that were not done specifically for any song or tempo, so we put some thought into how to take one of them and finish it in a distinctive fashion. The process of getting this done made even the severe GOLI understand how hard this is. (He even did the typography for this video. He's actually a really good guy.) I think this sort of image helps give us a certain edge among commercial arcade games.
