This is a fast-paced drum'n'bass song by Keiichi Ueno!

DDRMAX -DanceDanceRevolution-

"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, this is an unforgettable famous song in IIDX history.

In this movie, I started by associating the image formed by the song's title "THE CUBE".
Then, the next image was born from the melody...

... When you're on the ground, the five senses "run" 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 "running", but the flow of the change varies from each place, and isn't the same...

... And I tried adding the essence of the "city" on top of the video's image.

It was the first song recorded when 5th style production started, and it was the first movie I started making for the game (when I had enough time and energy).
I was very conscious about the goal to "expand the movie's range", but the concept work was bigger than the reality, causing aspects of the actual production to be unclear.

Staff Comments

Although this song's tempo is quite fast at 178bpm, you can comfortably listen to it without feeling rushed, it just feels smooth, simple, and yet, hmm, hmm, hmm.
