NAOKI

I naturally wanted to include trance and techno elements in my music, and "INSERTiON" is the result of my interpretation of that.
The tempo changes throughout the song make you feel like you're being shaken, and although the ending becomes fast towards the climax, I want you to keep playing it like you're addicted, especially those who experienced "such situations".

NAOKI

I've recently been addicted to trance, so I naturally wanted to include it in my music, and "INSERTiON" is the result of my interpretation of that. I never really liked techno music in the past, but in the last few years, I've been immersed with digital music to this day. Actually, I play and create everything in real time, from the drums to the keyboard, whether it's techno or Euro music.

Furthermore, INSERTiON is a song that's conscious of DDR's gameplay, so it has a few new tricks. The shifting tempo of this song will make you feel "something", especially when it reaches the climax at its ending.

NAOKI MAEDA

This song is strongly conscious of D.D.R. gameplay. The shifting tempo will make you feel "something", and in the ending the increasing tempo is heading towards a climax, making this a song that you will want to keep playing like you're addicted to it.

Liner Notes

To those who like programmed sounds, you'll definitely be addicted to this number. The unique drifting sensation created from digital sounds crowded together in space, is a feeling that can only be experienced with trance music. Furthermore, the extreme tempo changes gives this number a unique D.D.R. feel. If you're confused by the irregular tempo from beginning to end, you'll be mysteriously wrapped in a sense of exaltation when it becomes one at the end.
