* This song shares the same genre and a similar style with the song DAWN -THE NEXT ENDEAVOUR- which is also sung by [[Maiko Horisawa]]. Both song titles have a reference about light.
== Trivia ==
* A long version of this song appears on L.E.D.'s album "電人K", as well as a remix by [[Yoshitaka Nishimura|DJ YOSHITAKA]].
* PHOTONGENIC marks Maiko Horisawa's first appearance in the beatmania IIDX series.
* PHOTONGENIC received an almost entirely new set of charts upon its arcade debut in beatmania IIDX 14 GOLD. Only its Single NORMAL chart was carried over.
* PHOTONGENIC has a louder volume than nearly every song in beatmania IIDX 9th style CS. This was later adjusted on the [[beatmania IIDX 12 HAPPY SKY ORIGINAL SOUNDTRACK]] album.


== Trivia ==
== Song Production Information ==
=== L.E.D. ===
This is surprisingly my first DRUM & BASS song in the beatmania series.<br>
I had previously thought about asking Maiko Horisawa, who participated as the lyricist and vocalist this time, to participate in my track production if there's an opportunity, and while creating this track, Horisawa's style matched my desired image, so I gave her my long-awaited offer. As a vocalist and opera singer, Maiko Horisawa is a talented singer who's active in a wide range of genres, and I think many people have heard Horisawa's songs in various places.<br>
Well, the title "PHOTONGENIC" is a blend of the words Photon, Genetic, and Photogenic.


* Photongenic has a drastic increase in volume over nearly every other song on 9th CS. This does not happen on the Happy Sky OST, where it appears in audio form.
=== Maiko Horisawa ===
* Also appears on [[AC GOLD|IIDX GOLD]]
I usually sing healing pop-styled songs, but for my first DRUM & BASS song, L.E.D. and I were able to form this song's worldview together, which was very enjoyable. I'm moved to be able to share fun with many BEMANI fans through music and games. I also posted the lyrics in my homepage, so please post your impressions if it's great. I also sang the theme song of PS2's "Z.O.E", so some people might know me from that(^^)


==Song Production Information==
== Video Production Information ==
=== Ta-k (synesthesia) ===
Following [[CS 8th style|8th style]], I once again created a video for a L.E.D. song.<br>
It's a D'n'B song with a speedy feeling and female vocals providing a sense of space... it's too lovely.<br>
Taking L.E.D.'s requests such as image color into account, I completed this video during a tight production period, due to my time mismanagement.<br>
I think I finished it slightly differently to his [[NEBULA GRASPER|previous video]]. Although blue hasn't primarily appeared in my videos recently, I still really liked this color while making this video. ...... But even though I made a video with a color I liked, I wonder why it's difficult... due to my time mismanagement. What do you think? (sweats)

Following 8th style, I was asked to work to make another movie for L.E.D. The impression of the song to me as well ans the drum and bass sections and the feminine vocals made me feel as if in space.  It was so cute.<br>
=== New Charts ===
On L.E.D.'s urging, I made the movie using the colors he suggested, but the methods of making the movie as well as the short timeline meant that the movie was rushed.<br>
