Song Production Information

DJ MURASAME

The past connects to the present, and the present connects to the future.
I wonder what you will feel, within the flow of time ... ?

Everything is predestined.
As everything is connected, thus I am connected to you.

What would be really great would be to go to a game center with two IIDX machines lined up in a row. On the first one, play the NORMAL chart, and when it was about to finish, select the HYPER chart on the next machine, and then play the ANOTHER chart on the first machine again. If you do that, you will have played through a five minute, thirty second techno track. That would truly be a DJ simulation game!

No way, the song changes for every difficulty level ... that's great.
It has a really great mechanical techno sound to it. I tried to give the drawings a wild, techno touch to them as well.
If you follow the song, the image builds up quickly.

I've been doing drawings for a lot of J-pop songs lately, but I definitely won't be forgetting this one any time soon.
It hits you right in the face with a dark feeling built out of lots of sounds.
