Song Production Information

Ryu☆

This last song is dedicated to the people that most affected me this year.
This time, we would like to cheer loudly,
Somebody's Screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeam!!

Genre explanation.
HANDZ UP is a genre of music that is mainly produced in Germany,
Simply put, it is like the Buchiage Trance of Germany (Do not quote me on this).
Solid bass to kick-based solid bass, and solid bass sustains this.
The low number of sound, features a sparkling track with a lot of power.
It is very powerful, and this style has hit the top of the US dance tracks.
A song from this genre hit No. 10 on the charts.
This was the genre's first major achievement.
