Song Production Information

I'm cosMo.

I've heard that the "Tenkaichi otogesai" is a festival of music games, so I'm really looking forward to it. And what a surprise! I'm proud to say that I have co-produced a very powerful song with dj TAKA. I titled this song with the hope that you'll reach a high place that no one has reached yet, so please try to reach the top of the world with this song!

dj TAKA here.

I started my career with beatmania IIDX and have been involved in music games for a long time, so I'm very proud to be involved in Tenkaichi otogesai as a music composer. I've been friends with cosMo since I asked him to remix songs for the first SOUND VOLTEX, and this time, we were able to collaborate in an unlikely and unexpected way! We did our best, so please enjoy it.
