For the IIDX GOLD collaborations, we were planning six collaboration songs, and this song was going to be added as another collaboration song, but as a hidden song. I had wanted to work with teranoid, so we made a agreement to make a song together, which even before we finished the song, we titled "THE DETONATOR."<br>

Now for a bit of a story.  Before I was contacted about a collaboration, my musical influences was moderately American.
