Song Production Information

dj nagureo

I set out to make a beatmania remix of music from Konami's flagship game, TwinBee.
The ParaPara-style Eurobeat and nostalgic SCC sounds will be a big hit with gamers.

Video Production Information

This song is ported from beatmaniaIII.
When this song was released on beatmaniaIII, which is part of the same beatmania family lineage, GOLI and I raced to the cabinet, and I remember exclaiming "wow" after hearing it.
Thanks to the support of the beatmaniaIII team, this time the song can be played on IIDX using the 7 keys.
Eurobeat has become a popular genre even in IIDX, but it shows us an alternate horizon from the songs currently recorded from the game.
