== Song Production Information ==
=== beatmania 2ndMIX ===
This song was put together with sound samples from Salamander. It's interesting how the characters on screen synchronize with the button controls. The combination of synth backing and vocals looks complicated, but shouldn't be difficult once you get the timing down.


==Song Production Information==
=== beatmania completeMIX English site ===
Get into this techno dance mix.


Unknown.
=== DanceDanceRevolution ===
This is a hard trance song with the motif of "Salamander", one of KONAMI's first shooting games. The intro part exactly recreates the original sound of that era, and its unthinkable "virtual image with a cool future sense" transcends that era. "KONAMIX" is another label from Konami Music Entertainment, which successfully fuses video games with deep dance music found in the British underground scene. At first glance, the attempt to include video game music and underground sounds is seen as contradictory and risky in the industry, but you should also pay attention to it from now on.
