Seiryu

Thank you all for voting for me to collaborate with one of the leading figures in game music, "sampling masters MEGA"!

It was amazing.

It was amazing how well we kicked off together when we first met to make the collaboration song.
For all the fans of mega, this would be the first song he had made in a while. 100% of the fans would be amazed by this.

In collaborating with MEGA, we decided to have a BPM with some tension. Not just 200, but 202, since we wanted to add a bit of emotion to the song. The artist title for the song (sampling masters MEGA vs. Seiryu) implies that there will be a battle, so we added the vocal samples to make it sound that there were two groups battling each other. In this sense, the theme of "battle" fit well for DJ TROOPERS.

Now it is your turn, the player, to try this song. It's your challenge, and I await your result.
