This is a fast-paced drum'n'bass song by Keiichi Ueno!<br>
There are many delicious button sounds throughout the song, with focus on the piano, guitar, synth hits, and the entire solo synth in the song's second-half, which mainly had high-speed rhythms unique to the drum'n'bass genre.<br>
In the ANOTHER chart, you only play the rhythms!<br>
Please become a rhythm machine and aggressively hit the buttons.<br>
It was the first song added to the cabinet during 5th production, so it was very memorable.

Speaking of Ueno's DRUM'N'BASS, this is an unforgettable famous song in IIDX history.
 
In this movie, I started by associating the image formed by the song's title "THE CUBE".<br>
Then, the next image was born from the melody...
 
<small>... When you're on the ground, the five senses "run" through various sensations within your body, but if you view it from a high area, they feel strangely unnatural, dry, and pale...<br>
... As a whole, the urban landscape transforms each day as if it was "running", but the flow of the change varies from each place, and isn't the same...</small>
 
... And I tried adding the essence of the "city" on top of the video's image.
 
It was the first song recorded when 5th style production started, and it was the first movie I started making for the game (when I had enough time and energy).<br>
I was very conscious about the goal to "expand the movie's range", but the concept work was bigger than the reality, causing aspects of the actual production to be unclear.

Although this song's tempo is quite fast at 178bpm, you can comfortably listen to it without feeling rushed, it just feels smooth, simple, and yet, hmm, hmm, hmm.
