Trivia
- The capitalized letters in "Digital MinD" (D.M.D.) reference an old band that TaQ and TAKA used to be in. The mix name is another set of references: "T" is for TAKA, "A" is the initial of a girl TaQ and Taka did some music with, and "Libra" is a reference to the Osamu Kubota song Libra Negra.
- Digital MinD(A/T Libra mix)'s ANOTHER chart has 573 notes, goroawase for "KONAMI".

Song Production Information
dj TAKA
Techno means TaQ in IIDX 2nd style. (By the way, he is no relation to that person from a certain famous group.) So, this track is a little flashy for a minimalist piece. It ended up that way to allow the gameplay to be more interesting. Incidentally, the series of scratches in the second half of the song ... during production, we called them "wayo". (n.b.: pronounce it "way-o".) "The wayo are kind of small", huh.
Video Production Information
VJ GYO
Contrary to the title of the song, I made a kind of analog-like video. I started this movie with a vague image, and rooted around the department trash cans for junk, thinking I could get something interesting if I randomly stick things together and photo them ... I got the feeling people kept thinking, "What's he playing around with?", but basically I have memories of thinking you could find unexpected treasure in a solitary world inside this and that. At the editing level, we carried on the minimal techno theme by repeating elements, finishing up with a reflection of a trance-like sensation.
