Here is TaQ's latest production, the hard techno song Holic. By the way, a lot of people have been asking, "How do you pronounce TaQ?" The correct answer is "Taku". In German, Q is pronounced like "ku". TaQ spent his childhood years in Germany, and it looks like "TaQ" is a favorite nickname he picked up there. I think there are a lot of people who think TaQ's works have a certain German techno feel to them, including Holic; this may be why.

Both dj TAKA's "[[LEADING CYBER]]" and TaQ's "Holic" perfectly express the worldview of 3rd style's catchphrase, "CYBER beat NATION", in the most straightforward way.<br>
 
If anything, they're songs with dark tones and filled with power, like being consumed by an intense force, without sinking or stagnating.
The catch copy for 3rd style is "CYBERbeatNATION"; it seems the songs that express this particular world view the best are probably dj TAKA's [[LEADING CYBER]] and this song, "Holic" from TaQ. If I had to say why, it's because they're songs that give you a very dark feeling with faltering or becoming depressing; they're both song that are overflowing with a violent energy that seems to suck you in.

Song Production Information

beatmania IIDX

dj TAKA

This is TaQ's Holic, a.k.a. "HARD TEC", his latest techno song.
By the way, I received questions asking "how do you pronounce TaQ?", so the correct answer is "Taku".
Q is pronounced "ku" in German, right? TaQ spent his childhood years in Germany, and it seems to be his favorite nickname since then.
Many people also felt that TaQ's songs, such as Holic, have a certain German atmosphere to them, so perhaps it's from that background.

DanceDanceRevolution

This is a techno number by TaQ, who also created "era". The melody here is further removed, giving listeners a mechanical and aggressive impression. The gradually increasing tension creates an anxious feeling, while the subtle and profound synthesizer sounds make you feel a mysterious comfort. The last section immediately fades out from the continuous patterned phrases, leaving trailing notes like they're left behind.

Video Production Information

VJ GYO

Both dj TAKA's "LEADING CYBER" and TaQ's "Holic" perfectly express the worldview of 3rd style's catchphrase, "CYBER beat NATION", in the most straightforward way.
If anything, they're songs with dark tones and filled with power, like being consumed by an intense force, without sinking or stagnating.
