Originally this song was made as a short loop intended to be used outside of stages, but I reused it as one of the stages. It's trance techno in a somewhat old style, incorporating hints of an '80s revival.

There is a surprising number of young people in their teens or 20s today who love techno. In particular, the equality of "loves games = loves techno" seems to hold at quite a probability.<br>

In the demo tapes from people who apply to be a sound creator here at Konami, the quality of the techno is pretty good, but the other genres are, well... a lot of the people are like that, and often the screener holds their head in frustration. That said...<br>

Pursuing what you like is definitely great! But just doing that won't earn you a living. Love music across the board, and furthermore love sound (audio) across the board, be loved by it, and cherish it.

==== Original Version ====
From the impressive delayed scratch noises across the clear synth pads, and the modulations created on the famous TR808 rhythm box, this entire song is engulfed in a space atmosphere which could be mistaken as a scene from a space opera, as the beat overwhelms the grouped sensations in the opening section, and the robotic voice called vocoder is used in the middle section. The song finishes without a conclusion, creating something brilliant beyond the chaotic and repressed resolution.
==== CLUB 2P Version ====
"OVER DOSER" completely changes to have an ambient atmosphere, with heavy use of vocoder voices and delays, combined with a more polished impression, such as parts that only play on the bassline.
