Terra (group)

TЁЯRA is Konami's in-house rock and J-Pop group that composes music for "Beatmania IIDX", "Dance Dance Revolution", "Pop'n Music", "GuitarFreaks", and "DrumMania". They first debuted in "Pop'n Music 8" with their song "Stars☆☆☆". Their introduction in Konami's session simulation was "We Are" in "GuitarFreaks 11th Mix & DrumMania 10th Mix". In "Beatmania IIDX 10th Style", they were introduced into the DJ simulation series with the song "Doll". Since then, they've produced one song for each version of both IIDX and Gitado thereon, as well songs for the other active Bemani games. Their first, and only album to date features longer versions of songs featured in the Bemani games, in addition to new songs. Their second album is rumored to be titled "Evolution".Fact|date=July 2007 This theory is backed up by the teaser intro on their official site, which shows: 'Revolution to Evolution'.

Two new tracks have recently been added to the official website. Like others before them, Terra has provided 15-20 second clips of each track.

Latest Work

As of January 31, 2008, TЁЯRA has released four new tracks, all of which are playable on Beatmania IIDX 15 DJ Troopers. 10 second clips of two of these new tracks can be heard on the official Terra website, as well as new art from 零 (Rei) -ZERO- by Matsumoto Goli.

The clip of the first new track, titled "Reminiscence//001 (Rebirth)", sounds very similar to 零 (Rei) -ZERO- in its style, and energy. However, the melody is slightly more happy, rather than nostalgic, like that of "Doll" or "Alfarshear".

"Reminiscence//001 (Rebirth)" is the first of a three-part series, similar to Bemani artist A/I's Captivate series. The second in the series is "Reminiscence//002 (Life)" and the third is "Reminiscence//003 (Destiny)".

The clip of the second track, titled "Promise for Life", is a soft, ballad like piece that is mixed with a slight R&B flavor. It's style can be described as a blend of Riyu Kosaka's "断罪の花 (Guilty Sky)" (Ballad Style) and T.M. Revolution's Vestige. The song is currently featured in the newest IIDX edition "Beatmania IIDX 15 DJ Troopers". Production notes by Naoki and Jun for "Promise for Life" can be viewed on the "Beatmania IIDX 15 DJ Troopers" official website, under the new song section (In Japanese).

TЁЯRA has finished production of their latest track "Miracle Flyer!!" for the newest Pop'n Music installment "Pop'n Music 16 Party", as well as "鏡花水月楼 (GFDM Edition)" for "GuitarFreaksV5 & DrumManiaV5" which was produced in collaboration with JRock group 宇宙戦隊NOIZ. A PV of the video can be seen on TЁЯRA's official website.
