The song title's origin is "a gathering of small waveforms" as an analogy for beatmania gameplay. However, there's another meaning that's not related to the song's contents (Is there also a hint in the number of notes used?).<br>
== Music Production Info ==
I combined two separate house tracks with a crossfader in order to create the atmosphere of a DJ game, ranging from hardware to music. I'd be happy if you can identify in which part the song completely changes at.

I personally really like the song's latter-half.<br>
I was hooked on club music when I heard it for the first time, and it was this song's groove which attracted me to the genre.<br>
Having said that, when I returned home and listened to those songs from that era, I strangely felt sad to find that they sounded very old or dull...<br>
This genre really makes you feel like your age, doesn't it?<br>
Since it's electronic music, maybe it signifies the evolution of the equipment used? I'm not quite sure.<br>
Anyways, it's strange that this groove has re-emerged despite the latest sounds being used.<br>
As expected of dj TAKA, it's a fine song.


Untranslated.
