It seems like there's an awful lot of techno in games, so this ".59" is my answer.
I guess it's in the nature of IIDX.
It's rather difficult~.
I wonder if I'm the only person on the staff that can beat it, huh.
The history of German music, from Bach to German trance, is 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 song's title.
The meaning..... VJ GYO explain the answer!

".59", do you know how to pronounce it?
It's not "period fifty-nine", "tengoku (Heaven)" is the correct answer.
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 doesn't say "tengoku" or "Heaven", so the song and animation don't associate themselves directly with the idea.
Rather than praising the people who reached their destination, I feel it contains a message of relief for those suffering along the way...
