Song Production Information

DJ MURASAME

The past connects to the present, and the present connects to the future.
Within the flow of time, I wonder what you'll feel...?

All realities are predetermined.
As all realities seem to connect, I'm also connected to you.

By all means, at arcades with over two IIDX cabinets in them, play its Normal chart in one cabinet, and when the song's nearly finished playing, play its HYPER chart in another cabinet, and after that, please also play its Another chart.
If you do this, you can play a 5 minutes and 30 seconds techno track.
This is exactly a DJ simulation game here!

No way, this song changes according to its difficulty level.... That's great.
It has a high quality mechanical sound. I tried to match its mechanical feeling by drawing with a rough touch.
The song's image appears quickly.

This time, many J-POP-styled songs have been making an impression, but I won't forget this song.
It gradually gets louder and darker.
