GAME BGM SONGS & COMMENTARY

M-02 - Frozen Your Eyes
    "Since it's for the title screen of the game, shouldn't it be up-tempo and motivating!? The concept, basically, is ~J-Metal is back! 8-beat is the best! Rock is the best!~"

M-03 - Insomnia
    "The image BGM for the 'Character Select' screen. Anyway, I wanted to write a song that had a unique impact, enhancing the player's immersion in the world of Ryuki and lifting their spirits at the same time."

M-04 - Head Gear
    "I imagined a feeling of excitement and passion that push reason aside while entering the empty warehouse stage."

M-05 - Punishment
    "The word [in Japanese] is 'Shoubatsu!!' I composed this piece with wickedness, ruthlessness and cruelty in mind. Because of the spooky melody, it's used infrequently(?). It's a hidden track."

M-06 - Chancer
    "The theme is a fusion of the static and dynamic. I envisioned a suite-like development. However, since it's a song for a battle scene, I expressed emotional intensity with heavy guitars and a shouting VO."

M-07 - You & Me
    "A song for fight scenes. Why must they fight? What lies beyond? Where is the answer? Something like that, right?"

M-08 - DNA
    "The song for the Challenge Mode. Its image is heavy and cold, rather than gentle and bright. I was able to bring out parts that couldn't be expressed in-game. Something's boiling over."

M-09 - Vertigo
    "[vertigo], that is, 'dizziness.' It expresses the feeling of being stuck in a cycle of fighting and fighting in an abyss of a world. If you listen to it over and over again, you should see the world of Ryuki in your own way!"

M-10 - Angel "Call me"
    "I tried to incorporate my personal interpretation of the essence of industrial rock into a calm atmosphere. This song was born from the image of Ryuki's Mirror World, a mysterious and alien space."

M-11 - Last Stand
    "Used for transformation scenes in Challenge Mode. The up-tempo, majestic, yet emotional melody fits the video perfectly, and it should no doubt heighten the tension of anyone playing the game! It's a powerful piece."

M-12 - Fly Away
    "The sorrow that comes from continuous fighting is expressed through the guitar's sound and phrasing. Never give up, no matter what happens. Dreaming of the day when you can fly away. I hope this thought reaches you."

M-13 - All Of Us
    "The ending theme song. I hope you feel that immersion and lingering sense of accomplishment that comes from clearing all the stages, enhanced further with the song's sound."

M-14 - High Octane
    "The 'game over' jingle. Rather than a feeling of despair after getting killed, I composed the song to be a 'Shout!' for the next battle. Even if you lost the fight in the game, when you play again, fill your high-octane tank with gas and fire yourself up!"

M-15 - Answer
    "The 'stage clear' jingle. It's only two seconds long in-game, but it was recorded in a full length! We hope players find their own 'answer' as they progress through the game!"
