It's a fast-paced drum'n'bass song by Keiichi Ueno!
There are many delicious button sounds throughout the song, and I played the piano, guitar, synth-hit, and the entire solo synth in the song's second-half, which mainly had high-speed rhythms unique to the drum'n'bass genre.
As for the ANOTHER, I only played the rhythms!
Please become a rhythm machine and aggressively hit the buttons.
It's the first song added to the cabinet during 5th production, and is very memorable.

"THE CUBE" by DJ SUWAMI is an excellent chill-out and jazzy drum'n'bass track - a perfect example of music for the future.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
Speaking of Ueno's DRUM'N'BASS, it's an unforgettable famous song in IIDX history.
In this movie, I began associating the image formed by the song's title, "cube".
Then the image was born from the melody...
...When you're on the ground, the five senses "sprint" through various sensations within your body, but if you view it from a high area, they feel strangely unnatural, dry, and pale...
...As a whole, the urban landscape transforms each day as if it was "sprinting", but the flow of the change varies from each place, and is not the same...
...And I tried adding the essence of the "city" to embrace the video's image.
It was the first song recorded when 5th style production started, and I first started making the movie this time (when I had enough time and energy).
I was very conscious about the goal to "expand the movie's range", but the concept work spread on a large Furoshiki, caused aspects of the actual production to be unclear.
