13	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=veUFnaBp91w 20,November]] by the now-retired Reo "DJ Nagureo" Nagumo, from the very first ''beatmania'' title, has become one of the most iconic songs in the Bemani franchise, and November 20 has become not only Nagureo's birthday, but also a day celebrated every year by fans.
14	* Interestingly, according to the poll in ''beatmania THE FINAL'' website, the most popular song during 5-key era is not "20, November," but [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7XnRfTdxd1U super highway]] by nouvo nude. This song is included in ''beatmania IIDX 13 [=DistorteD=]''.
15	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FgoI7ML2JoQ HELL SCAPER]] by L.E.D. LIGHT-G, originally from GOTTAMIX. With high speed gabba with senseless psychedelic animations, it's a 2-minute rave!
16	** There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zMz03HMqQmQ the full version]].
17	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9x7EfR2Kbs DJ TECHNORCH remixed it]] -- he was specifically inspired to take up hardcore techno production by that song, and hardcore techno single-handedly turned him from an asocial, reclusive loner into a successful DJ with friends, a wife, a family, money, and prospects. So when he got the chance to remix the song that literally saved his life and made him a respectable man, he considered that deal his final trial, and the result is one of TECHNORCH's most amazing tracks in his entire discography. And [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YsyntnalA9Q the full version of the remix]].
18	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mtcLX-J0M4g COREDESAT]] by Des-ROW from ''beatmania THE FINAL''. This song is a blend of the intro music Des-ROW did for ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EFWmWjmd16U beatmania CORE REMIX]]'', ''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kjzma8ZPFqY beatmania 7th Mix]]'', and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IZZErbraJPg beatmania THE FINAL]]''. Also appears on pop'n music via ee'MALL.
19	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IXrY-D-HVso ASK]] by RAM from ''beatmania III''.
20	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9TRp6Do2ODA Jack and Mark Get Busy!]] by Distant Soundz from ''Beatmania 6th MIX: The UK Underground Music''. For this instalment, they brought in several UK artists to compose songs, and this is among the most memorable.
21	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PDPy40wTw1s Kouyou]] by Youhei from ''Beatmania Core Remix'' is just plain beautiful.

28	* [[https://youtu.be/-cN-ZI9cP24?t=5s Digital MinD (A/T Libra Mix)]] is one of [=TaQ's=] first entries in the series, but still holds up well today. Fast, pulsing bass and a strong rhythm give the song a nice minimal, yet full feel.
29	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0c1HPONDkcU Soft Landing On The Body]], the first IIDX song with BPM changes.
30
31	[[AC:3rd Style]]
32	* Even with its status as ThatOneBoss, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NoR0qqmfm3s The Safari]] is still a bouncy, lighthearted track that's fun to listen to. Don't let the SoundtrackDissonance catch you off guard when challenging the 7th Dan course, though...
33
34	[[AC:4th Style]]
35	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EovuuasZeDo starmine]], Ryu*'s first track in ''IIDX'', and a sign of great things to come.
36	* Music/AkiraYamaoka (the very same who worked on ''Franchise/SilentHill'') composed two tracks for this game. Part of the delight of listening to them is comparing the OST versions and in-game versions, where differences in mixing reveal quite different sides of the song.
37	** DIAMOND JEALOUSY gives a strong, powerful industrial rock vibe. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6qWZosNwxP4 OST version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wdioHyworlc in-game version]].
38	** 250bpm, whose title suggests its main hook. It's seriously fast. Although the composer admitted he dislikes this one, his natural talent applied to this unfamiliar genre produces a track that's hard to dislike. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yZX8iO_b9-E OST version]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t1GzAF8AY6k in-game version]].
39	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=klE_PilEnHM Clione (Nekomata Master Remix),]] a beautiful remix of kors k's first track in ''IIDX''.
40
41	[[AC:5th Style]]
42	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jXhT2Umsz3U V]] by (dj) TAKA, a remix of "Winter" from Vivaldi's "Four Seasons", and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T_o1w9qQIEA V -conclusion-]] from dj TAKA's album "Milestone".
43	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YkQzY6Fhahs Radical Faith]] by [=TaQ=], a good example of his Big Beat work, as well as one of the songs with a separate [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=K9xEtHoO9yk Another]] mix.
44
45	[[AC:6th Style]]
46	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2WVxdtU3fKc Colors]] by dj TAKA. A broad, emotional trance piece that sets the standard for his best works. ([[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O4GIY-4BRJE Full version]])
47	* Even though [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PH4oUUL5du8 19,november]] has absolutely no relation to the iconic 20,november, it still stands on its own as a fun, chill track.
48
49	[[AC:7th Style]]
50	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-91sveb86Gc Love Me Do]] by Music/AkiraYamaoka.
51	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iX23bjIjLys Burning Heat! (3 Option MIX)]], another song based on ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}''. Notably, this track employs Motoaki Furukawa (who composed for the game of origin, Gradius II) to provide a sweet guitar solo. Also the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VJwzE-W9-cA Full Option Mix]].
52	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-OzmfWtYF6U Marmalade Reverie]], the first original song from TOMOSUKE in IIDX.
53	* The [[OneLetterName simply-named]] but mind-blowing [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KXPh0YmmNf0 A]] by DJ Amuro, actually the song that inspired Takayuki Ishikawa to take up the name "DJ Amuro". Ishikawa actually came up with the song around the time of ''3rd Style'', but decided to hold onto it until he thought players were good enough to handle it. The result is a unique mix of classical and electronic music which will get your pulse pounding.
54	-->The A in the title is for the trump card, the ace.

60	[[AC:9th Style]]
61	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=W3sBQTMDf_E Manatsu no Hana ~ Manatsu no Yume]] by Sana. It's a shame that this is so underrated.
62
63	[[AC:10th Style]]
64	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yRjjbbT857E Setsugekka]] by Ryu*. Melds Japanese traditional music with hard house and it works remarkably well.
65	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8C73Yi_Rvpk Gradius -Full Speed-]] is a {{Homage}} to ''VideoGame/{{Gradius}}''.
66	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VhmaF7tMWO8 No Doubt Get Loud]] is one of those most hilarious songs ever.
67	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3a7RsdEGSk No.13]] by TAKA respect for J.S.B., a techno remix of Johann Sebastian Bach's Invention No. 13 in A minor, BWV 784 with an awesome video.
68	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aVJv7DoPExg DoLL]] by TEЯRA, a collaboration work between Jun and Naoki. And the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1nZLLzFNAD0 full version]] is just as awesome, if not more. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FNiJQaf-P7A L.E.D.'s remix]] gives it a more techno flair.
69	* [[https://youtu.be/GuUgdp55yC8?t=4s Daisuke]] by Y&Co may have become popular through MemeticMutation, but it's also an amazing eurobeat work.
70
71	[[AC:11: IIDX RED]]
72	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5WzRbiDCuJQ Genocide]] by [[NamesToRunAwayFromReallyFast DJ Killer]] (a previous pseudonym of Tatsh).
73	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9g1QcfQ7kos RED ZONE]] by Tatsuya Shimizu and Naoki Maeda. Fast-paced doesn't even ''begin'' to describe it. It's also very popular for meme remixes, and seems to have REALLY taken off [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6x0UlEtU4To on Nico Nico Douga.]]
74	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aYjg1JsHQMA Injection Of Love]] by Music/AkiraYamaoka and Sana. It's completely different from what either artist has done, but it ''works''.
75	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XmJtBnK3OfA HORIZON]] by kors k and Lia.
76	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m_EQ86z90mI Ageha]], by Ryu*. SO MEMETICALLY ARRANGED! Even spawned memes using the beat of the song itself, called [[Memes.TeamFortress2 GentleMentleMen]].
77	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SQXK-EJNvUk Piano Concerto no. 1 "Anti-Ares" (known as "Scorpion Fire")]] by virkato. It is a full, 8 minute long piano concerto composed for this game, and it is fantastically written. It is unlocked as the final extra stage.
78
79	[[AC:12: HAPPY SKY]]
80	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bsodDEQfxuE Xepher]] by Tatsh was so good it appeared as a shortened version in ''DDR [=SuperNOVA=]''.
81	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yW34iG4bsQw Mei]], the [[TrueFinalBoss One More Extra Stage]]. It also serves as the final stage of the ''Kaiden'' Dan'inintei course. There's also [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VF3RFeDCgkY Mei (Rockin' Swing Remix)]], first appearing in ''SOUND VOLTEX''.
82	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aCEL__H9678 Scripted Connection=>]] by Tatsh (under the pseudonym of [=DJ Murasame=])is an epic 5 1/2-minute techno track, with a very unique gimmick: the Normal version fades into the Hyper version, the Hyper version fades into the Another version, and the Another version fades in from the Hyper version--put all three versions together for the aforementioned full version.
83	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CY59GFshwQw SigSig]] by kors k is the poster child of the Japanese interpretation of mákina, a Spaniard subgenre of HardcoreTechno. It's famous for its IndecipherableLyrics that say something like "It's a dream!~ alpha beta roy, beta beta~".
84
85	[[AC:13: [=DistorteD=] ]]
86	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iJ9i_a_OGlE Custom Drive]], the opening theme. This was Yoshitaka close to his composing peak in IIDX. Contains the electronic screech more well-known from [[VideoGame/ReflecBeat FLOWER]].
87	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0vsTPnFmq3g tripping contact]] by kors k vs. teranoid (both are names used by the same artist). A melding of two established styles of hardcore music from the same person - and it's brilliant. So much so that it got [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oxnVA_GyF3M a remix]] in the same game version, remixed by the same artist again.
88	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-EuE5oW9YDg Contract]] by DJ Yoshitaka (aka Suzaku).
89	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=09GzFeXA61Y Nageki no Ki]] by Kinjinshi (a special pseudonym of DJ TAKA). According to TAKA, the intention was to write a song to be the king of kings. ''It shows.''
90	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-5oxyxUMNa4 Apocalypse ~dirge of swans~]] is both beautiful and sad and, within context of the Zektbach world, horrifying. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uDelkvExKTg full version]] more than deserves a listen as well.
91	* [[https://youtu.be/84sZX5iVJnM?t=5s waxing and wanding]], Ryu*'s first entry under his Seiryu alias. Fast-paced, synth-heavy, DANCE SPEED. A small fact to note: the persistent vocal samples used are from the same pack which holds the samples from [[Memes/{{BEMANI}} Brain Power]].
92
93	[[AC:14: GOLD]]
94	%%* '''[[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bybkLlNbaaw TWO DEE ECKS GOOOOOOOOOOOOOLD]]'''
95	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YJjnHmZdkyk Sense 2007]] by good-cool. Love or hate the song, the video's about [[FanService three girls in short-skirt bodyfit clothing dancing with fans]].
96	* [[https://youtu.be/PhYEpp_rVgA Second Heaven]] by Ryu*. The artist himself has admitted he took inspiration back from when Music/{{Cascada}} was at the height of worldwide popularity. And of course, can't forget that classic sample: [[MemeticMutation SOMEBODY SCREEEEEAAAAAMMMMMM!!!!!]]
97	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mOMWzIqeEW8 ZERO]] by TEЯRA.
98	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ejq0t5e3tFo Blind Justice ~Torn souls, Hurt Faiths~]], another song from the world of Zektbach.
99
100	[[AC:15: DJ TROOPERS]]
101	* [[https://youtu.be/6gouvK4B7Qc?t=6s Time to Air]] by Seiryu, the default Extra Stage of DJ TROOPERS. Clearly, the previous "waxing and wanding" wasn't enough fast-paced DANCE SPEED. Also a popular song of choice for MAD/YTPMV makers.
102
103	[[AC:16: EMPRESS]]
104	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZJVo5sY5lKc Empress March]], the Opening Theme. Sets the tone for a dance/house-heavy IIDX style very well.
105	%%* V's sequel, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8qTGcTccIok V2.]]
106	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QvGRj77EAOo smooooch]] was so famous in Website/NicoNicoDouga, people made [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XZsdTpWDqEk different]][[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OoIXKja4Kqg variations]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0t4BcKtcBuc of]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kWE1nFtVbVk it.]]
107	%%* The ending theme to ''EMPRESS'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y_W-3CEUZTA THANK YOU FOR PLAYING]].
108	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gldhm5MI9ho Colorful Cookie]] by Lucy Vacuum (DJ Yoshitaka), and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=J1KElHOruL4 the Another version]].
109	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nZAXajq0EOU BRIDAL FESTIVAL!!!]] from S.S.D., also known as Arata Iiyoshi. Very catchy and heavily reminiscent of his works on ''VideoGame/PokemonMysteryDungeon''.
110
111	[[AC:17: SIRIUS]]
112	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d4N4IF4Je2Q Bad Maniacs]] by kors k as teranoid. A difficult hardcore song with lyrics spoken in a feminine computer voice about killing and/or fucking you. '''"We are... ''[[PrepareToDie playing to die!]]"'''''
113	-->"How much do you hate me now? That is not enough. I ?????? you. We will be back to ???? again soon."
114	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4GforKGooqg Raison d'etre ~Kousa suru shukumei~]] by Zektbach, from beatmania IIDX 17 SIRIUS. It's pretty much Tomosuke doing a ShoutOut to himself.
115	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P587JPp46IA She is my wife]] by Super Star Mitsuru, aka TAG. [[MemeticMutation Notable]] for the hilarious background video (shown in the link) where TAG, dressed in a campy superhero outfit with large sunglasses and feathers, dances with dj TAKA, L.E.D, Ryu, DJ Yoshitaka, and kors k in an extremely fabulous fashion. There's a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wr8Vf_uclGM live version]] performed at AOU 2011, now with even more hilarious cardboard cutout of Ryu holding a boom box.
116
117	[[AC:18: Resort Anthem]]
118	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i2FZb2AjWrg Yuuyake ~Fading Day~]] by [=JAKAZiD=]. Guaranteed to make you feel good.
119	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nVj7YEAzuJo Get Out]], a licensed track that several players were sad to see go so quickly. (The video links to the full version.)
120	* [[https://youtu.be/354wKq1ivlM Kailua]] by kors k, inspired by a trip to said town. It just feels like a vacation. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NH5a5Mv0ODM The remix kors k did as StripE]] adds even more energy.
121	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=g5cnqOoQTUc Dances with Snow Fairies]] by Dr Honda. One of RA's boss songs, and it definitely sounds the part.
122	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C7PDvwvkZBk Shakunetsu -Beach-Side-Bunny-]], the [[OptionalBoss OMES]] from Resort Anthem. Setting itself apart from the usual threatening techno that usually finds itself in OMES, it's a lively summer track that sets a new standard for scratch-heavy music in IIDX.
123	* From the same composer of "Scripted Connection =>", we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2wGz5utuSBM ANTHEM LANDING]], a six-minute Latin/eurodance track that serves as ''Resort Anthem''[='=]s Extra Stage. Like SC=>, the track is divided up into Normal/Hyper/Another sections.
124
125	[[AC:19: Lincle]]
126	* Every single Lincle Kingdom boss song. Slaughtering music game demons has never been this exciting:
127	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1yD-FTrjRa4 Mamonis (The Sampling Paradise).]] Now with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hLS-0Yz8WWU long version]].

138	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e-qBcMDWd3o SHADE]], another three-part song by Tatsh, this time serving as ''Lincle''[='=]s standard extra stage.
139	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2ypONu-Z4S4 Round and Round]] by Masayoshi Minoshoma, the same person behind [[Music/BadApple Bad Apple!! feat. nomico]] (and it certainly sounds like it).
140	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VCODdLNegHk EVOLUTION]] from TEЯRA.
141	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FyQyeaAWz4U Suishoku komachi melancholia]] sounds like an opening to a horror themed anime.
142
143	[[AC:20: tricoro]]
144	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=onZX0-Xvajg GRADIUS 2012]] from ''tricoro'' has a similar premise to "GRADIUS -FULL SPEED-" but is more uptempo and features a neat scratching section in the middle.
145	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Xs3ZdDz1tr8 LUV CAN SAVE U]], a song by Hideki Naganuma of ''VideoGame/JetSetRadio'' and ''VideoGame/SonicRush'' fame, takes a lot of cues from his previous music, and is all the more awesome for it. Brought over to ''VideoGame/{{Jubeat}}'', ''[[VideoGame/DanceMasters Dance Evolution]]'', and ''VideoGame/DanceRush'' too.
146	* Tricoro has [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2o9TlCFApOQ Illegal Function Call]]. It's U1's first IIDX-specific song, and features a [[RemakeCameo video full of callbacks to the 5-key era]].
147	* ''tricoro'' brings in Nekomata Master as one of the new sound directors, and the system music he makes is awesome. For two examples, try the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1BwVQ_jZVEE title theme]] and [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9pWBkLT87sM the music select theme.]] Nekomata Master also brings in new playable tracks, including [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t8EQF54WMmA Portal]].
148	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=A9OIcjevrn0 The LIMIT BURST theme]], played on the song select when you unlock a [[OptionalBoss LIMIT]] [[{{Crossover}} BURST]] song.
149	** The ''beatmania IIDX'' [[OptionalBoss LIMIT BURST]], [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ROqIWaj-Ybs Sol Cosine Job 2]], by hardcore musician DJ Technorch. You know you're in for a brutal challenge when the song starts with [[AC:"Good evening, [[{{Engrish}} or]] [[PrepareToDie die]]!"]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dFga_Di_DGA Long version now available!]]
150	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jcUn2lp9-gA New Decade IIDX Edition]], the ''VideoGame/DanceDanceRevolution X2'' LIMIT BURST. It's a longer version of "New Decade" from DDR X2[[note]]to be more accurate, it's a cut of the extended version of New Decade[[/note]]. And if you hate the DDR version's [[GimmickLevel tempo]] [[FakeDifficulty changes]], fear not: The IIDX version's charts are all constant-BPM! Also, ''[[SampledUp kakkoi~]]''
151	* The LEGEND CROSS series of boss songs, aka [[JustForFun/XMeetsY "songs from one Style meet songs from another Style]]:
152	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSHiv9Ymp2A CONCEPTUAL]], by Sota Fujimori.
153	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rGzdID22uM0 S!ck]] by kors k (under his Eagle alias) features vocals from "Rising in the Sun", as well as samples from other kors k songs.
154	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O3t1Vp1CrB4 SYNC-ANTHEM]] by Tatsh, with Kanako Hoshino on vocals. It's "ANTHEM LANDING" meets "RED ZONE" meets "Wise Up".
155	* From Ω-ATTACK:
156	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuOr7rd14I8 Kasoukuukan no Tabibitotachi]], or "Travelers of Virtual Space" as displayed on the LED arcade marquee. Yep, it's another extended Tatsh song...but wait! This time, instead of Normal/Hyper/Another, the song is split between Single and Double mode. Talk about a clever trick to get people to play Double mode.
157	** The boss of Sector A, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ywKdaqh_bX4 Torikago no Houou]], a collaboration between L.E.D. and Music/YuuheiSatellite, the latter of which is well-known for ''Franchise/TouhouProject'' arranges.
158	** The boss of Sector B and the FinalBoss of Omega Attack itself, [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPp57blzIcQ Proof of the existence]].
159	* From Our War of the Worlds: [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xpy06SgvT80 VEGA]], [=REDALiCE=]'s first instrumental BEMANI song. Featuring the dashing Galactic Gentleman "VEGA" in its video, it never fails to get you pumped.
160	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=07ZP9-6SpnY New Lights]] by kors k.
161	* Although FLOWER appeared in [[VideoGame/{{jubeat}} three]] [[VideoGame/ReflecBeat other]] [[VideoGame/PopNMusic games]] first, the [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lsitSOl8IQM IIDX version]] has been slightly modified, sounding more like something you'd hear at a club.
162	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3ykttr09lkk Kagen no Tsuki]], the sequel to "Suishoku komachi melancholia".
163
164	[[AC:21: SPADA]]

168	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f_NzA6qo14k I will be back]] marks the triumphant return of SUPER STAR 満-MITSURU-. Not only is the song good, but the BGA features MITSURU ''saving the world from an incoming giant meteoroid!''
169	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iF1LHqkKDl0 INSOMNIA]] by the Jakarta Funk Brothers, one of the few funky kota songs (as the artist name suggests) in the series.
170	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=i1QzafdXCls Miracle 5ympho X]] by USAO features machinegun ''notes'' halfway through the song.
171	--> Are you ready? ''(clickclick)'' '''MACHINEGUN!''' ''([[SugarWiki/MostWonderfulSound BANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANGBANG BANG BANG BANG]])''
172	* The Spada✝leggendaria [[BossWarningSiren select]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kOEa9XIasmQ&t=13s theme]], perfectly fitting of the fact that you're about to face one of the game's boss songs. Then there's the Spada✝leggendaria songs themselves:
173	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JWG7e-tjbCY Close the World feat. a*ru]] by [=REDALiCE=], under the "天叢雲剣" alias. This is as light as the Spada✝leggendaria tracks get, and it is just as amazing as the rest.
174	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BVTIGY7_Wcx Verflucht]] by Hommarju, under the "Tyrfing" alias. It's a high-energy, hard-rocking track with a ✝[[HarderThanHard LEGGENDARIA]] chart notorious for having the most notes of any arcade ''IIDX'' chart, at '''2401 notes'''[[note]]MENDES's Kuro Another chart still holds the record for most notes of any ''IIDX'' chart, at 2626 notes, but it's a console-exclusive chart[[/note]]!
175
176	[[AC:22: PENDUAL]]
177	* PRESENT Phase exclusives:
178	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ByK3CSqyvbA chrono diver -fragment-]] by Nekomata Master featuring Aki Misawa, a calming track that represents ''PENDUAL''[='=]s PRESENT phase.
179	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AIG1byJ4UOM illuminate]] by Sota Fujimori, featuring his usual brand of synthetic goodness.
180	* FUTURE Phase exclusives:
181	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BYbhD3Pp6pY CHRONO DIVER -NORNIR-]] by L.E.D., a hard drum 'n bass track that [[FutureMusic represents the Future phase]]. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HSQSRPahySw Nhato's remix]] turns the song into a trance/trap mixup, and it's amazing.
182	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XSC4JOfYphs subtractive]] by Sota Fujimori (under his "Expander" alias) incorporates some dubstep elements.
183	* [=m1dy=] strikes again with [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rdrb8CFgZ8U m1dy Festival]], featuring his signature brand of high-speed craziness.
184	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l5CV7D0wdKA Amnolys]] from Onoken. An Artcore track that shifts quite well from beautiful drum 'n bass to heart pounding dubstep. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zixlyjQIuoU The long version]] takes a different approach, and goes for a more epic feel.
185	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jeU1TSxlhVo Cosmic Cat]], a future bass track released as part of the Qpronicle Chord event.
186
187	[[AC:23: copula]]
188	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gkjEpil6lLs Hoshikuzu Distancia/Stardust Distancia]] by ARM, a wonderful combination of jazz and EDM.
189	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jTyIgmlLsCY Damage Per Second]] by Maozon. The little robot in the BGA is adorable. Also, there's an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2z2h8lJLNgc extended version.]]
190	* [[https://youtu.be/ijb3Hu4y8q0 On The FM]] by C-Show sounds like something you'd blast out of your car speakers while cruising around town. There's an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GmfwI0vDy68 extended version]] too.
191
192	[[AC:24: SINOBUZ]]
193	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eI8kGithjIs Shishikasumu uruwashi no mai]], a beautiful slow waltz track, applying HuΣeR's [[SignatureStyle signature synths and beats]].
194	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3fiVy4SuPhk&t=18s Hades]], Massive New Krew's first entry in the Bemani franchise. The background video fits the video perfectly, not to mention that it's [[NightmareFuel quite terrifying.]]
195	* [[https://youtu.be/6IhdEwoaEjY Music Is The Answer]] by C-Show, a groovy, low-tempo beat with an awesome saxophone solo midway through. There's also an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=0OXlHf4HgJE extended mix]].
196	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=X3VZnAVU7A4 PAPAYAPA BASS]] by Camellia feat. Nanahira. It's "weird" in a good way.
197	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s8zCDjkD_Yw DORNWALD ～Junge～]] by [=DJ=] [=TOTTO=], beautiful and haunting. Think [[VideoGame/ReflecBeat Valanga meets Vajra]].
198	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MHJOUpL9s7g Beyond the Seven]] from Nhato, a trance track that sounds like something that came from ''A State of Trance'' with a dash of electro elements. And it's ''beautiful''. It also has an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5F_DZvlzKyY Extended Mix]]
199	* BUZRA ARTS songs:
200	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Gx4ebgwiEBM ECHIDNA]] by HuΣeR opens with that signature synth wail and develops superbly from there. Either you're enjoying the song or you're eyeing up the [[CuteMonsterGirl half-naked lamia]] in the video. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81MzL00keYY Also has a full version]].
201	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QAGK-aLHxKw Beat Juggling Mix]], full of call-backs to the 5-key beatmania series, and the "DJ BATTLE" songs in particular, sample-heavy and full of tempo change ups.
202	** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZnFlheENHeM Snakey Kung-fu]] is hard not to love, with the IIDX style brought in the direction of Hong Kong-style kung fu movie music.
203
204	[[AC:25: CANNON BALLERS]]
205	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fOiRQ24Q86U Chemical Cookie]], YUC'e's debut in BEMANI. Future Bass cranked up a few gears and peppered with cutesy samples.
206	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WNksXgkmNlU Midnight Lady]], this is the kind of song to which you would cruise by a beach.
207	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Cxi3Uf5oCV0 O/D*20]], a remix of "Overdoser" from the first ''Beatmania'' game, also combines several elements of the song's previous remixes.
208	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6CdPC9lhwaE THE CANNONBALLER]] feels like it came straight out of an episode of ''Manga/InitialD''.
209	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gHphqodJPho Fervidex]], Feryquitous' (of ''VideoGame/{{Deemo}}'' fame) debut in BEMANI. A beautiful combination of drum-n-bass, dubstep, and piano that results in a memorable Artcore piece that quickly became one of the stand-outs in ''CANNON BALLERS''. It also has a [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=czmuRMa7gaE Full Version]] on their solo album!
210
211	[[AC:26: Rootage]]
212	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Nh3YUJZsFb0 Night! Night! Night!]] was introduced in the Debility Laboratory event. It's uncomfortable how well the song manages to capture the sound of an old school Naoki Maeda song.
213	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_OXmTqlWjbQ Ember Lights]] from Nhato combines synthy trance and bass heavy hardcore for a blood-pumping track. Comes with an [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iSbE4z52zUE extended version]]. The [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=444WiCSy6uI a remix]] from ''[=ULTIMATE MOBILE=]'' by Taishi is his first contribution to Bemani, and with it his signature ethereal epic-like trance.
214	* Rootage introduces a new extra stage system called "Arc Score". It's similar to the Parallel Rotation extra stage system from SIRIUS in that the songs in it are based on previous games in the series, so of course it's gonna have some bangers in there.
215	** Representing 8th Style is [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tfE-ooKZMJU XENON II ～TOMOYUKIの野望～]]. A sequel to well... XENON, and it's just as (if not more) epic as the original.
216	** Representing HAPPY SKY we have [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Adhipn8V15I GENE]]. Similar to Scripted Connection, the song is split up in three parts depending on what difficulty you're playing the song on. (The link takes you to the full version.) The video for the song takes various videos and overlays of songs that were in HAPPY SKY and mashes them together in an incredible spectacle! It just doesn't end there though; the video, like the song, is split into three parts based on difficulty!
217
218	[[AC:27: HEROIC VERSE]]
219	* Out of the gate, DÉ DÉ MOUSE's [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qHZiXY7dChU Silly Love]] has quickly solidified as sonic gold that has an accompanying video that equally soothes the heart.
220	* lapix gives us [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AP5-GfHsBR8 Double Dribble]], a fusion of Disco and Gabber. Normally, these genres would not belong anywhere near one another, but somehow they perfectly compliment; Disco adding a welcome air of melody and funk, with Gabber keeping it from sounding too soft. The result is perfect for both breakdancing and breaking floors.
221
222	[[AC:28: BISTROVER]]
223	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cg2bgml2Ehc HIGH VOLTAGE]] from Yuta Imai is a Hardstyle power-stomper broken up by an especially catchy vocal melody. (...Also, the [[https://youtu.be/vDJt-VTip84 BGA]] has a [[NinjaPirateZombieRobot mecha-catperson]], which wins it some points. Not sure how, but it does.)
224
225	[[AC:Console Versions]]
226	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XchjABQNXhw Reflection into the EDEN]] by Nekomata Master for [=HAPPY SKY=]'s console release, a relaxing and cheerful song with such a mesmerizing bass. [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t0Z4p8RfuE It's extended version]] is just as good.
227	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xHY-ziwLog0 Sayonara Heaven]] [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=aBZCUSBs2L0 (long version)]], another one of Nekomata Master's songs for [=HAPPY SKY CS=].
228	* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sjH3ON1ylkw Go Beyond!!]] by Ryu* vs Sota, from ''IIDX: Distorted'' Rates up there as one of the hardest songs in the game, but probably one of the most awesome songs as well. Wound up appearing in EMPRESS arcade, as a revival.
229	* Also from the console version of ''[=DistorteD=]'', [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zt04KEX7AwA Shoot'Em All]]. If it reminds you of the ShootEmUp genre, it should; it's composed by Creator/ManabuNamiki.
230	%%* [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uJUYzxb4QGc quell ~the seventh slave~]] by dj TAKA vs DJ Yoshitaka, also from Distorted CS. Has a special [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn4qg8X8YVM another]] mix, too.
231
232	%%[[AC:Unsorted]]
233	%%* The opening themes deserve mention:
234	%%** [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xUTSf1f-4a4 The yet-to-be-named opening theme]] for Resort Anthem.
