This is the most techno-styled techno song throughout the history of the beatmania series.<br>
The undulations of the synth sounds in this song are said to be unique to his live performances.<br>
Actually, when TaQ was stuck on an idea while arranging [[Voltage (feat. Hidemaru)|VOLTAGE]], he asked me "how does this sound?" while playing it on a synthesizer, and that sound eventually changed and appeared in DXY!.<br>
On the other hand, TaQ suggested to me "how about this hi-hat for this song?", which I used it in another song, so such mini collaborations seem to occur every day among close musicians.<br>
The origin of this song title was originally a parody of an onomatopoeia used in our inner-circle.<br>
"Hey! TaQ! Do you want to go there!!" It's a mystery if he tried to use it.
=== Dance Maniax ===
This is a minimal techno song with regular rhythms and a metallic touch. The crowded atmosphere created from completely removing the melody, provides listeners with a feeling of ecstasy. The repeated patterns from the opening suddenly changes its tone in the middle section, immediately raising the tension. Sounds that consume the mind are so addictive, that once you become addicted to them, they're unavoidable.

This is an extremely cool song, and I was impatient but excited by it.<br>
I wanted to express its groove, texture, and development as comfortably as possible, so I integrated them with a common color.<br>
Also, although this was my first time using live-action materials, this video also taught me how interesting it was.
Off-topic, but when I later asked the composer TaQ to explain the meaning of "DXY!", he replied that it was "a substitute word for a greeting", but when I heard this song, I created the video with an image of a "killing machine" from beginning to end. Sorry (laughs).

Sorry. I'm just kidding.


This is the most techno of all techno tracks in Beatmania's history. You could say that the synth sounds in this song are more representative of TaQ's live music than previous beatmania tracks. As it happens, whenever he was stuck on various ideas during the arrangement of VOLTAGE, there are various synth sounds he'd ask about. These sounds were reborn into the DXY! sound. Conversely, the sounds that TaQ suggested I use end up appearing in yet other songs. We have a good relationship as fellow musicians, and have lots of little mini-collaborations like that all the time. The name of the song is a parody of descriptive sounds we used between us. "Hey! TaQ, are you really going to go that far with it!?" I wonder if my saying that decided its fate ...

This is a great song that burns with a sense of impatience. I wanted to express the rhythm, focus, and development of the song with a great feeling, so I collected them together into a common element: color. It's the first time I've dealt with on-the-spot filming, but it also let me study the interesting points of it.

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

dj TAKA

This is the most techno-styled techno song throughout the history of the beatmania series.
The undulations of the synth sounds in this song are said to be unique to his live performances.
Actually, when TaQ was stuck on an idea while arranging VOLTAGE, he asked me "how does this sound?" while playing it on a synthesizer, and that sound eventually changed and appeared in DXY!.
On the other hand, TaQ suggested to me "how about this hi-hat for this song?", which I used it in another song, so such mini collaborations seem to occur every day among close musicians.
The origin of this song title was originally a parody of an onomatopoeia used in our inner-circle.
"Hey! TaQ! Do you want to go there!!" It's a mystery if he tried to use it.

Dance Maniax

This is a minimal techno song with regular rhythms and a metallic touch. The crowded atmosphere created from completely removing the melody, provides listeners with a feeling of ecstasy. The repeated patterns from the opening suddenly changes its tone in the middle section, immediately raising the tension. Sounds that consume the mind are so addictive, that once you become addicted to them, they're unavoidable.

Video Production Information

NEW-3

This is an extremely cool song, and I was impatient but excited by it.
I wanted to express its groove, texture, and development as comfortably as possible, so I integrated them with a common color.
Also, although this was my first time using live-action materials, this video also taught me how interesting it was.

Off-topic, but when I later asked the composer TaQ to explain the meaning of "DXY!", he replied that it was "a substitute word for a greeting", but when I heard this song, I created the video with an image of a "killing machine" from beginning to end. Sorry (laughs).
