Personally, I like making songs that subtly intertwine these kinds of multiple rhythms, and this time, I'd like to excuse myself and expose my original musical style. It has nothing to do with recent music trends at all, but I'm sure there are people who'll love it. That's why this kind is also addicting to play in KEYBOARDMANIA, right?<br> | ||
The artist "WORLD SEQUENCE" is just a fictional name created by me. In the future, I'm sure it'll appear when I create instrumental songs with stateless Asian-styled rhythms. It's also planned to [[Ryuubu~DRAGON DANCE|appear]] in [[AC pnm 5|pop'n 5]], so by all means, please check it out there! | |||

However, as I've | However, as I've mentioned before, since KEYMANI's sound production method is fundamentally different to pop'n, it can't be crossed over as is, and there's no longer any way to recreate the sound sources from back then without changes... so the new version included in "plug+program" was reorganized and recreated as a game-sized version. | ||
