It seems like there's an awful lot of techno, and my song ".59" is kind of a response to this. I guess it's in the nature of IIDX. It's pretty ha~rd. I wonder if I'm the only one on the staff that can do it. The entire history of German music from Bach to German trance is all somehow represented in this song! The historic circumstances and occasional chaos of the fusion of East and West is there too! (Yeah, right.) By the way, the whole staff was chatting about the name of the song. Here's VJ GYO to tell you the meaning behind .59!

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

dj TAKA is known for composing [[GRADIUSIC CYBER]], which achieved tremendous popularity in [[AC 1st style|beatmania IIDX]] and [[AC DDR CLUB VER.2|D.D.R. CLUB VERSION]]. This song brilliantly fuses different genres, forming a distinct music world. The jazz part features a piano, the classical part with a magnificent worldview, and the techno sound gives it a cyber feel. You'll be strongly drawn to this great mysterious space which transcends genres.

".59". Have you all figured out how to pronounce it? It's not "point five nine", but "tengoku", the word for heaven. The dot is "ten", five is "go", and nine is pronounced "ku" this time. We ended up using a generic video for this song, but GOLI was able to come up with a key 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 may not be obvious as "Tengoku" or "Heaven" to everyone; the song and animation don't associate themselves directly with the idea. It's not so much praise for the people that have gotten there, but a message of relief for those that are suffering along the way ...  
Do you know how to pronounce ".59"?<br>
The correct answer is "Tengoku/Heaven", not "Period Fifty-nine".<br>
I ended up using a generic video for this movie, so GOLI tried his best in a limited time to come up with animations which appear when players press the keyboard.<br>
Since the song title doesn't say "tengoku" or "HEAVEN", the melody and animations simply don't associate with "heaven".<br>
Rather than praising those who reached their destination, I feel it contains a message of relief to those suffering along the way...
