Song Production Information

beatmania

This song was made after the halfway point in development, when we were holding the location test in Chayamachi, Osaka. It was right around when a lot of people were playing the game despite it still only having a few songs, and when we became confident that the game was going to succeed. Since there were a lot of people who cleared all of the stages, I thought about what to do with the button controls before creating the song, then assigned the backing piano and 909 drum set (typical of house music) and flashy scratch sounds to the controls.
