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.
