Song Production Information
beatmania 2ndMIX
The song is poppy and requires a high level of scratch and button timing, but it feels very good to play once you're able to clear it. During the scratches in particular, you'll want to be careful of your timing when going back.

You can't resist the hard drum beats and tingling keyboard sounds.

The DRUM'N BASS MIX song in beatmania, Deep Clear Eyes, is cool!
It's one of my favorite songs.
If you asked me to recommend other songs with a drum'n bass sound, I wouldn't know because I'm not studious about in-depth stuff (I'm stubborn, remember?).
The only thing I can recommend with confidence is an album called Rough and Ready (1997) by the artist Ram Jam World.
Do you know Hirofumi Asamoto? He's also the producer of UA (pronounced "ooh-ah").
It stylishly incorporates elements of drum'n bass, but I think it's a top-notch "pop album" (has universal appeal). Give it a listen!
Until next time, have a wonderful BEAT PLAY LIFE.
