It seems like there's a lot of techno in games, so this ".59" is my answer.
It's something that can be played in a IIDX game.
It's rather difficult~.
I wonder if I'm the only person on the staff that can clear it, huh.
The history of German music, from Bach's Invention to German trance, is represented in this song!.
The historic circumstances and occasional chaos of the fusion of East and West are here too~ (lie),
By the way, the whole staff was chatting about the song's title.
The meaning..... VJ GYO will explain the answer!

Do you know how to pronounce ".59"?
The correct answer is "Tengoku / Heaven", not "Period Fifty-nine".
We ended up using a generic video for this song, but GOLI was able to come up with an animation to appear when players press the keys on the keyboard, working with his usual high-energy spirit in a limited time.
The song title doesn't say "tengoku" or "Heaven", so the song and animation don't associate themselves directly with that idea.
Rather than praising those who reached their destination, I feel it contains a message of relief for those suffering along the way...
