Its atmosphere is similar to Chronos, and it's 7/8 time signature is a progressive style.
I created this to be completed as Chronos2, but as Gitadora fans might know, Chronos didn't have such a high difficulty level as a boss song [[AC GFDM V6|back then]]. I tried to somehow make this song have a high difficulty level for Gitadora, but it was very difficult. Since the Gitadora V series didn't have many buttons or pads, I was able to mess around to a certain extent, but with the increased number of buttons in the XG series, I needed to think quite a bit about creating charts with an authentically high difficulty level.
After worrying about this, I felt that it'd be difficult to make this song more difficult, so I discarded it.
As time passed, I received an order to create a Chronos-ish song for jubeat, and after thinking "Can I use this song from that time here!?", I recovered the discarded data and composed it. Since it's jubeat, I stopped using a complicated 7/8 time signature, and simply used 4/4. Also, even though it isn't a boss song, I needed to make the gameplay exciting to a degree, so I made the chorus 16-beats.
That's how I completed this song. It's currently included in many titles, and has previously been included in other companies' games, so I think it has support from extremely many players. I can't create many songs like this in my career as a creator, so I'm very thankful.
It reached second place in TAG's No.1 song competition conducted last year.
