This is a song that's wonderfully fast at 300 BPM, the kind of hardcore techno you only find in music sim games. I never thought I'd get to write such a great type of song... ... so here we have MAX 300, arrived at through lots of trial and error in the production and conceptualization phases.
==== NAOKI ====
This is an upper hard techno song unique to music simulation games, with an astounding 300 BPM.<br>
I never imagined creating a unique style of digital music like this......... MAX 300 was completed through trial and error.
 
"Players who can clear this provocative high speed song in this game are like a superman to me..." I still feel the same way.


"Anyone who can clear such a provacatively high speed song is like a superman to me... " Yeah, I still feel this way.

Oh my, Naoki, I just can't, it's too fast.<br>
No, NAOKI. It's too fast. I can't do it.<br>
Oh, and to you DDR players who mailed NAOKI and were all, "Make a 400 BPM song! Please!" You don't want to be human anymore, do you? You want to become a superman? How can you all do this? I just don't get it. My, my, you're all ace pilots. (Oh, I guess I shouldn't use aviation terms for music games...)
And there are DDR users who emailed NAOKI and said, "Please create a song with BPM400!". Do you want to surpass humans? Do you want to become a superman? How can you all do this? It's a mystery. Oh dear, you're all aviators. (They're from a different generation....)


This song has a great feel to it. Naoki style, full throttle! Play this song, and destroy it. It's hot!
This song is groovy. It's a full-throttled NAOKI tune! So play and clear it. It's hot!


Well, let's try to draw someone who can play this song, dancing like someone in a fever. I guess the dance is something rock-style-ish. I did my best to reproduce an instant of that sort of really tricky movement. I think the drawings for these animations took longer than anything else in 7th style. Usually my source materials are fairly small, and I have to fool around with them to get them looking right, but for some reason I just kept cranking out bigger images that had a poster feel to them that I had to reduce in size. ... however, even when the size is fixed, I've got to make it 15 color. There's no rhyme, no reason... aaaargh! It'd be nice to be able to work in wider resolutions sometimes...
Let's draw something powerful like a raging festival for this song. So the dance is a bit conscious of a rock style. I recreated the part with the tricky stop for a moment. This animation's material took the most time. Since the original screen size is small, there's a place to always cheat, but this time, I reduced the image one-by-one to a poster-like resolution...... However, after resizing and dropping it to 15-color, it's completely nonsense. It's not effective. What a surprise. At least it must be wide....


Even so, I like the way this turned out in the end.
But, I quite like these subtle animations.

NAOKI

This is an upper hard techno song unique to music simulation games, with an astounding 300 BPM.
I never imagined creating a unique style of digital music like this......... MAX 300 was completed through trial and error.

"Players who can clear this provocative high speed song in this game are like a superman to me..." I still feel the same way.

THE MAXIMUM.
No, NAOKI. It's too fast. I can't do it.
And there are DDR users who emailed NAOKI and said, "Please create a song with BPM400!". Do you want to surpass humans? Do you want to become a superman? How can you all do this? It's a mystery. Oh dear, you're all aviators. (They're from a different generation....)

This song is groovy. It's a full-throttled NAOKI tune! So play and clear it. It's hot!

Let's draw something powerful like a raging festival for this song. So the dance is a bit conscious of a rock style. I recreated the part with the tricky stop for a moment. This animation's material took the most time. Since the original screen size is small, there's a place to always cheat, but this time, I reduced the image one-by-one to a poster-like resolution...... However, after resizing and dropping it to 15-color, it's completely nonsense. It's not effective. What a surprise. At least it must be wide....

But, I quite like these subtle animations.
