This is a fast-paced drum'n'bass song by Keiichi Ueno!<br>
There are many delicious button sounds throughout the song, with focus on the piano, guitar, synth hits, and the entire solo synth in the song's second-half, which mainly had high-speed rhythms unique to the drum'n'bass genre.<br>
In the ANOTHER chart, you only play the rhythms!<br>
Please become a rhythm machine and aggressively hit the buttons.<br>
It was the first song added to the cabinet during 5th production, so it was very memorable.

"THE CUBE" by DJ SUWAMI is an excellent chill-out and jazzy drum'n'bass track - a perfect example of music for the future.

Speaking of Ueno's DRUM'N'BASS, this is an unforgettable famous song in IIDX history.
In this movie, I started by associating the image formed by the song's title "THE CUBE".<br>
Then, the next image was born from the melody...
<small>... When you're on the ground, the five senses "run" through various sensations within your body, but if you view it from a high area, they feel strangely unnatural, dry, and pale...<br>
... As a whole, the urban landscape transforms each day as if it was "running", but the flow of the change varies from each place, and isn't the same...</small>


Untranslated.
... And I tried adding the essence of the "city" on top of the video's image.
 
It was the first song recorded when 5th style production started, and it was the first movie I started making for the game (when I had enough time and energy).<br>
I was very conscious about the goal to "expand the movie's range", but the concept work was bigger than the reality, causing aspects of the actual production to be unclear.
 
== Staff Comments ==
Although this song's tempo is quite fast at 178bpm, you can comfortably listen to it without feeling rushed, it just feels smooth, simple, and yet, hmm, hmm, hmm.
