If you are familiar with the [[Naoki Maeda|NM]]-produced dance pop song [[HIGHER (NM feat. SUNNY)|HIGHER]], CHIYOKO, who is also known as Sunny, is featured on this trance track.

Since players can't view the center of the screen and appreciate it while playing moderately dense notecharts, I thought about various ways to make it so they could enjoy the alternating colors and feel the large moving links.
