Song Production Information
beatmania IIDX
dj TAKA
I challenged myself to create a track which inherits the atmosphere of GRADIUSIC CYBER, which was well received by everyone.
I scattered some tones which were featured in the previous song to bring the atmosphere closer to it, but with a fresh feeling.
I needed the courage to create a track which serves as a sequel to a popular song, but this is personally my favorite.
By the way, although the song title is based on a certain KONAMI medal game, it has nothing to do with it, I'm sorry.
Well, let's talk about its genre like Togo-chef sometimes does.
What's the difference between "BIG BEAT" and "DIGITAL ROCK"? It's often discussed, but as far as I know, there's no clear difference between them (I haven't heard the term "DIGITAL ROCK" being used much lately).
From there, it's based on my personal interpretation.
From my vague image, BIG BEAT has a middle tempo with bulky rhythms, which feels like it's sitting on your back.
Examples of these included in the IIDX series include "GAMBOL", "ELECTRO TUNED", and "Schlagwerk".
Conversely, DIGI ROCK has an image of uptempo and a sense of speed, like sprinting.
This song highly relies on breakbeats, so I wonder if it can be used to push the song forward.
It's just my own personal interpretation, so perhaps it's best not to use it elsewhere.
But, the genre originated by someone on their own, so I wonder if this could become a new standard~.
Just kidding.
So, IIDX properly uses genres likes this, but what is shown as the genre is basically decided by the person who created the track, so of course there are exceptions depending on the person's interpretation.

Video Production Information
VJ GYO
LEADING CYBER's movie is the second movie made by VJ YUZ!
The beauty of the multi-layered style of the video, which continuously transitions at high-speed over the song, is VJ YUZ's specialty!
I was really impressed... (I'm still impressed)
Well, for this song introduction, I'll invite the special guest himself to comment, VJ YUZ!
VJ YUZ
I was so lucky to be in charge of the movie of dj TAKA's "LEADING CYBER", which is my favorite song in beatmania IIDX 3rd style? I think so.
Although the development time felt a bit harsh, the power of dj TAKA's music motivated me, and I was able to enjoy working on it with an extremely high tension.
I really enjoyed the process of gathering the finely scattered sounds and inserting them in the video.
The more you listen (and the more you play), you can taste LEADING CYBER!
As a fan of dj TAKA, I'm looking forward to more hot songs in the future.
