This is a hard trance song with the motif of "Salamander", one of the shooting games created in the KONAMI era. The introduction part exactly recreates the original sound at that time, and its unthinkable "virtual image with a cool future sense", transcends that era. "KONAMIX", another KONAMI Music Entertainment label, successfully fused video games with deep dance music found in the British underground scene. At first glance, the attempt to include contradictory video game music and underground sounds is risky in the industry, and we'll also pay attention to them from now on.

beatmania 2ndMIX

This song was put together with sound samples from Salamander. It's interesting how the characters on screen synchronize with the button controls. The combination of synth backing and vocals looks complicated, but shouldn't be difficult once you get the timing down.
