Trivia

  • The kanji used for the title (冥) is associated with darkness and is most commonly used in the word 冥王星 (meiousei), the Japanese word for the planet Pluto ("planet of the lord of darkness").
  • The arcade beatmania IIDX LED ticker displays the song as "MEI(TAKASH)", a portmanteau of "dj TAKA" and "Tatsh".
  • 冥 is arguably one of the hardest single songs to play, with 2000 notes occurring over two minutes (over 17 notes per second at some points), and it took over two years for a ranking of AAA to be obtained.
  • In DanceDanceRevolution X2, 冥 is one of the unlockable songs of the Ganbare PiX Kirakira Douchou (がんばれPiX キラキラ道中) event. It can be unlocked by having destroyed 800 planets, and launching PiX to a total distance of 490,000-520,000 light-years.
    • As of 2/23/2011, 冥 was automatically unlocked for normal play.
  • 冥 appears as downloadable content for DanceDanceRevolution S+, in the beatmania IIDX Song Pack 3.

Song Production Information

D.J.Amuro

The theme of this song is the sorrowful fate of a single man. Cursed with eternal separation from his family, he boards a shuttle alone in silence. I'll leave the story from here on to your imagination. I hope you can draw the story from the sound of the music.

dj Killer

I, Killer, have teamed up with D.J.Amuro to prepare the song with the highest number of notes so far. I hope you, too, can experience the "Solitary journey to Pluto, from which there is no return".

Video Production Information

Ta-k

I composed this video from the simplification of a certain object and used tantalizingly slow movement. It'd be neat if you saw the character 冥 looking at it from a different angle.
