HARDCORE TANO*C is an independent doujin Japanese music label that is known for releasing music compilations and albums focused on various forms of hardcore techno such as UK hardcore, happy hardcore, and gabber. The label was founded in 2003 by [[Yoshikazu Nagai]] (who at the time used the Akai Hito alias), originally under the name of ヾ(゜Д゜)ノハードコアタノシー (Hardcore Tanoshii), but changed to its current name of HARDCORE TANO*C in 2007 after the release of the album ''HARDCORE SYNDROME''. The label features a store which sells the most notable doujin music releases, and is well known for their frequent live events that are regularly organized throughout the years, including the annual ''TANO*C TOUR'' series of events and the ''S2TBTANO*C'' events done in collaboration with [[Kosuke Saito|kors k]]'s [[S2TB Recording]] label.

Since 2011, HARDCORE TANO*C has also been very closely linked with BEMANI, most notably in beatmania IIDX and SOUND VOLTEX. Many of HARDCORE TANO*C's members are frequent contributors to BEMANI, and KONAMI has even collaborated with the label for a few of their own album releases. Their presence also expanded to various other music game titles.

By the end of 2017, HARDCORE TANO*C has started to produce major artist album releases, containing licensed works done for music games by the circle's artists. From September 2018, a sub-label directed by [[Myosuke Urata|DJ Myosuke]] named ''HARDCORE TANO*C HARD'' has been established, which focuses on harsher music.
HARDCORE TANO*C is also heavily involved in the 2019 rhythm game [https://tanoc.marv.jp/ WACCA], which is published by ''MARVELOUS!'', with nearly its entire staff contributing to the game.

* The two S2TBTANO*C events (2016-2017) organized by HARDCORE TANO*C and S2TB Recording featured DJ sets by [[Tetsuya Tamura]] as Y&Co., with all of the BEMANI songs done under that alias played live.

* A song composed by various members of HARDCORE TANO*C, BATTLE NO.1, was planned to be in [[AC SDVX IV|SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN]] for the [[KONAMI Arcade Championship|The 8th KONAMI Arcade Championship]], under the artist name of TANO*C SOUND TEAM. KONAMI rejected the song (likely due to their poking fun of the [[BEMANI Sound Team]] moniker, which was at its most extreme in the that event), and it later appeared instead in the HARDCORE TANO*C-produced game [https://tanoc.marv.jp/ WACCA] on August 1st, 2019.
* P*Light and Shohei Uno are the only HARDCORE TANO*C members to be also beatnation RHYZE ones. In BEMANI, both being part of the latter group takes the priority.

** Since WACCA's release however, P*Light has yet to appear in a BEMANI game with his last song being [[SAtAN]] from [[AC SDVX IV|SOUND VOLTEX IV HEAVENLY HAVEN]].
