==== dj TAKA ====
It seems like there's a lot of techno in games, so this ".59" is my answer.<br>
It's something that can be played in a IIDX game.<br>
It's rather difficult~.<br>
I wonder if I'm the only person on the staff that can clear it, huh.<br>
The history of German music, from Bach's Invention to German trance, is represented in this song!.<br>
The historic circumstances and occasional chaos of the East and West fusion are here too~ (lying).<br>
By the way, the entire staff was talking about the song's title.<br>
Its meaning..... VJ GYO will explain the answer!

dj TAKA is known for composing [[GRADIUSIC CYBER]], which achieved tremendous popularity in [[AC 1st style|beatmania IIDX]] and [[AC DDR CLUB VER.2|D.D.R. CLUB VERSION]]. This song brilliantly fuses different genres, forming a distinct music world. The jazz part features a piano, the classical part with a magnificent worldview, and the techno sound gives it a cyber feel. You'll be strongly drawn to this great mysterious space which transcends genres.
 
== CS Information Data ==
=== [[CS DDR EXTREME NA|DanceDanceRevolution EXTREME (America)]] ===
".59" by dj TAKA debuted on [[CS DDR KONAMIX|Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX]] and stands on its own as a really cool tech-house track. From the ambient influenced opening to the orchestral instruments to the driving house beat, ".59" will definitely get your house in the groove. Check out other songs by this artist in this game and Dance Dance Revolution KONAMIX, [[CS DDRMAX NA|DDRMAX Dance Dance Revolution]] and [[CS DDRMAX2 NA|DDRMAX2 Dance Dance Revolution]].

Do you know how to pronounce ".59"?<br>
The correct answer is "Tengoku/Heaven", not "Period Fifty-nine".<br>
I ended up using a generic video for this movie, so GOLI tried his best in a limited time to come up with animations which appear when players press the keyboard.<br>
Since the song title doesn't say "tengoku" or "HEAVEN", the melody and animations simply don't associate with "heaven".<br>
Rather than praising those who reached their destination, I feel it contains a message of relief to those suffering along the way...


* Also in DDR beginning with ''Dance Dance Revolution 4th Mix''. The banner in DDR for this song uses the font the song's name comes up on the music select screen in [[AC 3rd style]]. (This was similarly done for the ''beatmania'' song Air in ''Dance Dance Revolution Extreme''.)

beatmania IIDX difficulty rated from 1 to 7 in 2nd through 4th style, 1 to 7+ 5th through 9th style, 1 to 8 in 10th style, 1 to 8+ in 11 IIDX RED, and 1 to 12 from HAPPY SKY onwards.<br>

It seems like there's an awful lot of techno, and my song ".59" is kind of a response to this. I guess it's in the nature of IIDX. It's pretty ha~rd. I wonder if I'm the only one on the staff that can do it. The entire history of German music from Bach to German trance is all somehow represented in this song! The historic circumstances and occasional chaos of the fusion of East and West is there too! (Yeah, right.) By the way, the whole staff was chatting about the name of the song. Here's VJ GYO to tell you the meaning behind .59!

".59". Have you all figured out how to pronounce it? It's not "point five nine", but "tengoku", the word for heaven. The dot is "ten", five is "go", and nine is pronounced "ku" this time. We ended up using a generic video for this song, but GOLI was able to come up with a key animation to appear when players press the keys on the keyboard, working with his usual high-energy spirit in a limited time. The song title may not be obvious as "Tengoku" or "Heaven" to everyone; the song and animation don't associate themselves directly with the idea. It's not so much praise for the people that have gotten there, but a message of relief for those that are suffering along the way ...
