If you haven't heard of the Epic of Zektbach, I recommend watching the videos first to get enough of an interest in the back story to sit through my text story here.
The work of Tomosuke Funaki, under the pseudonym Zektbach, for the beatmania games, has developed into a full-fledged story of its own, an "epic."
All music belongs to Tomosuke Funaki, All official artwork belongs to Maya Takamura, Konami, and others that have collaborated. Fan art: Kicori
