Timepiece phase II is GUITARFREAKS 10thMIX & drummania 9thMIX's PREMIUM ENCORE STAGE. Timepiece phase II is accessed by earning at least 98% Perfects on Agnus Dei or cockpit on EXTRA STAGE, up to the highest difficulty tier played on EXTRA STAGE.
Timepiece phase II is also the first PREMIUM ENCORE STAGE introduced in the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series.
Timepiece phase II is also GuitarFreaks & DrumMania MASTERPIECE SILVER's PREMIUM ENCORE STAGE. Timepiece phase II is accessed by earning at least 98% Perfects on either CLASSIC PARTY 3, VOIDDD, or One Phrase Blues as EXTRA STAGE, up to the highest difficulty tier played on EXTRA STAGE.
It's also available as an unlock with time-released unlocks by playing Arcade mode for 19.5 hours.
This is also the first time the ENCORE STAGE of the previous game was not made immediately available in Standard Mode in the following game.
Timepiece phase II is Hirofumi Sasaki's final song credited to his name in the GuitarFreaks & DrumMania series.
It's also the only song in GuitarFreaks & DrumMania credited under his name that does not feature Yoshihiko Koezuka on bass.

An alternate set of charts for Timepiece phase II featuring Charge Notes, titled Timepiece phase II (CN Ver.), can be found in beatmania IIDX 20 tricoro.
Even over three weeks since Timepiece phase II was added to tricoro, both sets of charts were still in LIMIT BURST Phase 3, while all other LIMIT BURST songs were in Phase 4 and can be unlocked by simply playing three songs from their corresponding series until the release of beatmania IIDX 21 SPADA.
The sun from Timepiece phase II's video would later become a selectable character in GITADORA OverDrive's Battle System.
Timepiece phase II was added to ノスタルジア on March 15th, 2017 as part of the NOSTALGIA launch memorial song crossover campaign (ノスタルジア稼働記念 楽曲交換キャンペーン).
