Song Production Information

This song is dedicated to a friend of mine, Rimashi, who introduced me to the genre of Happy Hardcore.
I was first introduced to Happy Hardcore in high school.
Early on, I was a big music fan in high school, listening to many different genres and composing some songs.
So one day, a friend told me about a new genre. "It's a new and exciting genre!" he told me, and then described the fast, deep beats and melodies as well as the overall happy feel to it. Listening to the music for the first time, I was hooked.
The first time I listened to Happy Hardcore at a club, it grabbed my attention!
The floor exploded with the music and it was inevitable that I wanted to make it my own.
Changing the style of music I wrote, I ended up composing a song that would eventually become starmine.
To any of my friends reading this, I hope that the story makes you happy.
