Song Production Information

beatmania 6thMIX + CORE REMIX

This track is a remix of the intense boss fight music used in the historic blockbuster game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty, from Konami Computer Entertainment Japan (KCEJ).

The original track comes courtesy of Norihiko Hibino (who is also a saxophone player), with the remix being commandeered by L.E.D. (nicknamed "The Trance Bastard of the Bemani World"). Thanks to the production of KCEJ, this plan for a collaboration between beatmania and MGS2 was made into a reality.

This action-packed hard trance tune takes Metal Gear Solid 2's tension to a whole new level.

beatmania THE FINAL

L.E.D.

This song is a remix that weaves together a tapestry of multiple songs from KONAMI's worldwide hit video game Metal Gear Solid 2: Sons of Liberty (MGS2), with the central focus being the boss battle BGM.
Initially, I thought about going with a remix that barely resembles the original song and adds drastic changes to it - what they call a "subverted remix."
Since the original song by Hibino was already well-executed, though, the remix instead aims to bring out (or rely upon?) its good qualities.

The original song's creator, Norihiko Hibino, chiefly composed music for MGS2, Z.O.E, and other titles where you can hear his trademark cinematic style.
